Awesome , once again thank you so much guys , I do want to try and get her to talk , I will keep them separated but occasionally they have a fly around together , I feel bad for her cause if chickee had the chance he could populate Australia with budgies if need be ... I just dont want him to harass her too much ... she is such a cute tiny thing, either that or my chickee is an unusually big buzzard !! here are a couple more pics , the cockatiel whos name is Charlie found us ..... he flew onto my partner while he was on the balcony , he bought charlie in then he flew off only to come back again 3 weeks later !! he is GORGEOUS and gets on well with the budgies .... if only people could do the same for some reason picture didn't upload in last post .... will try again

thanks for the info Kaz , I have been repeatedly trying to teach her since we have had her given the fact I thought she was a boy , so I have put the time in but she hasnt picked anything up , I have only gone by what I have read and heard that only the boys talk so yes I was ignorant where that's concerned, but I will still keep putting the effort in in the hopes she becomes more tame and hopefully talks one day

Thanks for all your input guys .... seems the vote is "its a girl" !!!! We got her specifically to train to talk etc as the little boys do for my partners mum .... but now thats not going to happen .... and Fin , my chickee gets amorous with anything that has a rounded shape , he particularly loves plastic spoons which he often loves then leaves !! Now we have little Dusty , I dont want to breed them , now I am not sure what to do ... will have to keep them apart :/ I am SO annoyed with the breeder !!! and here I was thinking she was just a bit "special" ....

Hmmmm ... the breeder told us he was a boy ... I was worried my chickee batted for the other team but if he is possibly a hen I can see why he gets so excited seeing shim .... I am a little dissapointed but what can I do now, I am annoyed at this breeder though .... thanks for your input.

"> Hi there We got this little guy (Dusty is the white one) when he was 12 weeks old , he is about 6 months old now , he is VERY skittish and hasnt picked up any words , Chickee.. the gigantor blue one next to him is 5 yrs old, we got him at 6 weeks and he was talking within 4 weeks of us having him , I am hoping Dusty is a boy but the blue on his cere isnt very prominent , and the fact he isnt talking and he isnt too friendly is making me wonder, I know Budgies all have diff little personalities, but if I can get some expert opinions in here that would be great , thanks so much

I think I got it thanks so much

But how do you post pictures on here, I tried through photobucket but its not working and it doesnt let you upload straight from computer (unless I am missing something) :/ thanks guys
