Now I'm a newbie and maybe I'm wrong but ... If I wanted a bird of a certain sex, I'd be sure to buy one that is old enough to sex with certainty. It doesn't seem fair to me to bring a bird home and then return it if it's the wrong sex. I would think that's really hard on the bird. Jenny

Hi Kaz, I think it is ... but being a beginner am not sure. Here's a close-up. The focus isn't great as she won't let me get too close with the camera and I have to really zoom. Jenny

Thanks! She has just started her first molt in the past couple of days and is looking a little funky right now This is our first budgie and we're crazy about her.

Hi, I've looked at lots of pics, and think I know .... My budgie (almost 4 months old) is recessive pied, right? Any other adjectives to tack on? thanks!

thanks everyone! I'll check back with updated pics after "her" first molt. I guess she's a girl that acts like a boy.

I've looked at a lot of the recessive pied pics (that's what mine is, right?) but just can't tell. Behavior seems male, lots of singing and warbling, gurgling, some head bobbing. However I see pretty big white nostril rings though they don't show much in the pictures ... Also in real life cere seems more pinkish than blueish. First pictures is from 9 weeks: Next one is current, about 14 weeks: http://www.rent-san.ca/Copy%20of%20IMG_0577.JPG Here's another picture. It's blurry, but you can see the nostril rings, and the colour is closer to what I really see. http://www.rent-san.ca/Copy%20of%20IMG_0578.JPG
