Thought i would show an update of our baby who is 1 month old now. Still not sure if it's a he or she. Any ideas from these pics? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/fli...ds/IMG_3349.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/fli...ds/IMG_3352.jpg Photos changed to links.

But he's soooo cute and doesn't look like he would sound like potato potato potato......

He's gorgeous!!! Reminds me of a budgie I had when I was a kid. I called him Beefa (B fa budgie) silly name I know but he is the image of him.

thanks for the info guys, I can stop calling her mother hen now :(Laughing out loud): We initially went to buy only 4 budgies from a breeder and as we were leaving the guy offered us the rest of the birds (5 from memory) he had for an extra $30 so we took them as well. 2 of the 'extras' couldn't fly and the one in the picture had the bald patch. We didn't know about the birds that couldn't fly until we put them in our aviary and he didn't give much of an explanation as to the baldness of the one in the picture. Sadly, one of the non flyers has died but the rest have turned out okay. We just have the other non flyer inside as a pet.

When we bought this darling we thought it was a she but there seems to be a touch of blue in the cere. She has a bald patch on her head which was there when we bought her and hasn't grown back. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/fli...ds/IMG_2877.jpg This is our new baby, about 2 weeks old. Anyone have any ideas as to the sex, colour and/or breed? From reading up on the forum about whther the Mum is feeding it, it seems the baby is being fed. Would that be correct? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/fli...ds/IMG_2868.jpg thanks in advance for any info Photos changed to links as they exceeded allowable forum size. Feathers

thanks for that Kaz. That explains why she keeps the male cockatiel in line that she is caged with. She can't fly properly yet (they were bought with clipped wings) but the tiel can so the tiel will be going out to the outdoor aviary soon.

We purchased a budgie and a tiel together and were told they were both boys. The budgie is starting to look like a little lady tho. Can anyone help? What sort of budgie is this and is it a boy or a girl? here he/she is

Hi all, we have an aviary set up out the back and 2 weeks ago our 1st baby budgie hatched. The mother was constantly in the nest up until a couple of days ago. Now she hardly seems to be in there at all. I have noticed the baby has started looking out from the breeding box and I am worried it will try to jump out. The box is up near the ceiling of the aviary. How soon do they learn to fly? Should I take the baby out from the box in case it jumps out? I have been a member of your forum for a couple of months now and have found the info here to be gold!!
