Thanks, much appreciated Budgie 1 (female?) Budgie 1(female?) Budgie 2 (female?) Budgie 2 Budgie 2 Budgie 3 (male?) Budgie 3 Budgie 3 Budgie 4 (male?) English Budgie Baby (male?) The English budgie has such a lovely temperament, is very placid, and happy to sit on my finger and get head scratches all day; Budgies 1 & 2 are absolute biting machines and will not get off my hand when I change their food and clean their cage; Budgie 3 is quite placid and happy to be scratched on the head; and Budgie 4 is somewhere in between. They all have such different little personalities! Link to comment

I'm going with all males, it'll be interesting to see in a couple of weeks Link to comment

That and the fact they are such 'biting machines' made me think female, though the biting may just be a baby budgie thing and not a gender thing? Those two even tried to attack my phone camera when I took the photos and were literally hanging off the front of it. lol. I should have posted those photos The other three baby budgies are much more laid back and happy to be handled. Will post some more pictures in a week or so and see if the genders are any clearer then. Link to comment

I see all male budgies in your photos. Link to comment
