Not sure that I remember what to expect. My little boy was already very friendly and seemed semi-tame when I got him yesterday, he learned step-up in about five minutes and happily wandered my room, occassionally going into his cage but willing to step out as soon as I opened the door. However, when night rolled around, I couldn't get him to sleep at all. His dropping were very runny. He does not seem to have slept since he's dozing off a bit right now, his droppings are still runny, and he hasn't touched his food or water. He's also suddenly scared of me, even though yesterday he was fine. I highly doubt he is sick, I am thinking it is still just him being nervous, but is there anything I should be wary of?

Yay! Thank you! :rofl:

Thanks (: I'm pretty sure he is. Its only in photos that he seems to get a glare of some sort, which I worry might make him look female, I tried to get clear shots but it proved difficult!

Thank you! I've been looking at all the previous posts and trying to guess the sex before looking at everyone's answers, and I think I'm getting the hang of it

Thank you, I hadn't noticed, I should have looked harder. What is the main difference between baby hens and baby boys? I notice some of the girls seem to have lighter ceres with a slight ring around the nostrils, but I saw that on a few baby boys as well.

While growing up I owned several budgies, all of which passed away after living long and healthy lives, and all of which were females. Now, I am finally going to get a new budgie, and I'm thinking I would like to get a male, for a slightly different experience. However, I want to get a handfed baby, which will obviously be too young for the cere to have changed colors, and I'm not experienced at sexing young budgies. If you guys could teach me a bit about it so that I might be able to pick out a male, please, do tell! Any pictures as examples or just descriptions would be great!
