Hi Peoples........I have a friend who is a fairly old woman, who still delights in breeding budgies.

I had a visit with her yesterday, she had a query,,,,,,,,what sex was this 2005 Creamino she was showing me.

 

Well I thought maybe a male wasn't sure,,,,so I mentioned this forum to her,,,took a couple of scratchy photos,, to ask you guys what you all thought.

 

 

Cheers

too hard to tell the flash is washing out the cere

 

Rule of thumb: since the bird is over 6 months old if the cere is a tan or has ever turn crusty tan a female but if it is pink then a male.

Paul, I have a creamino hen. The cere never gets dark brown, but it certainly turns beige and gets crusty.

 

sorry Paul, I cant tell from those picies!

I would lean more to male since of the age of the bird would have given time to see the cere change in a hen.

The cere looks very smooth, and if the bird is going on 2 and still has a pink cere it is male.
