okay. Yes, I'm certifiable. This little darling has been at the petstore for a short time. I had been in once before and left without bringing him home. I went in to buy some seed but I just had to have him. It may not be apparent in the pictures but he is so purple!!! I just loved him. He had a twin almost as purple.

 

Check him out.

 

 

 

I'm thinking of the name Kito which means gem. I think it is a male but it isn't as obvious to me as some of my other males have been. It's funny. Even his feet are purple and he has the prettiest tail. Is he a mauve? He isn't a lilac colour like Karen's Jasmin so I don't think violet.

You're right. What a little gem. I might be wrong, but from what I have learned here, it looks female to me because of the white rings around the nostrils. If I am wrong, someone PLEASE say so! :bluebudgie: Either way what a gorgeous bird. Congratulations!

The coloring looks just like Merlin's I say a normal violet and she is pretty.

Kiera - Dark, black. Feminine

 

or

 

Indigo or Indy - dark blue violet

Sapphira - dark blue

Thanks for the names Lovey. I really do think this is a male. I looked back at pics when Sylvester and Tweety were babies and this one cere is much closer to Sylvester's. It is very purple. I may go with the name Indigo - Indy for short because I think that is unisex enough that if it does end up being female it will still suit.

What a beautiful baby, but I would say girl also...but only because of the great advice I got from everyone here on sexing :bluebudgie:

your welcome I am mixed I was leaning boy too at first so I guess we shall see, I like Indy :bluebudgie:

I think that Kito is a great name for her. Lovely coloring.

:bluebudgie: Beautiful bird Shawna, would like to have a large cage here and have more birds like you but I have to split them up in separate cages or else they fight or engage in ahem, extracurricular activities and that is what takes up the space, lucky you! :dbb1:

You have a very beautiful violet normal. Very intense colour..........very nice :bluebudgie: I am not sure of the sex but am leaning towards female until I see other photos.

That is a beautiful budgie you have. I love the name you came up with

Kito is beautiful .

did you decide on a name Shawna ??

gorgeous!!

Well here are two more pictures. I think they show the purple in the cere more clearly.

 

 

I think I'm sticking with Kito for the name. My son likes that one.

Yes. I am lucky. And I have a great hubby for putting up with me. He's not a fan of the noise that 16 budgies can make.

 

The budgies seem to get along well. But I'm well stocked with cages just in case. Check out my "wall of cages".

 

That's a neat setup Shawna, I do have a stackable shelving unit (purchased from a bird supply place) but everybody wants to be on TOP of their cage when they are out so that is why this unit is in the spare bedroom getting used for storage purposes.
