Hello again guys, Im pretty sure that my little boy isnt actually a boy... what do you all think? The confusion lies in that personality wise - just like a boy, a very soft biter which normally means a boy. The other thing that had me conviced is he/she is starting to 'chatter' and I'm sure there are some actual words in there too, but if Yumi is a girl, there wouldnt be any talking right??http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2193...5e0d1af26b84b01Thanks guys - I know you'll know for sure. Mandi & Yumi xand why cant i see my profile picture next to my name?

Your profile picture shows in your profile, I think you are wanting to make an avatar. go to your control panel (My Controls) and then edit avatar Settings.

 

I also can't see the picture.

Hi ozartist. I had to pop in here after I read your questions. :budgiedance: I have 4 budgie hens. 2 of them talk and one wolf whistles. Out of all the budgies I have had, I've had more luck with hens talking than males. I'm sure that is not the norm, but has been my experience. And I 've had budgies for most of the past 35 years. Budgie hens do talk, they just are not as likely to talk as the males. When they talk, regular words are interspersed with budgie sounds, so you never know what you are going to get! And they do not talk very loudly, when mine get on a roll it is usually as they are settling down for a rest and have that little chattering session. Most times I really have to listen closely to figure out what they are saying. And I can make out things others can't, so go figure on that one. And in my experience, the girls do not bite as hard as males either. Well, they can bite hard, but they bite differently. The males I have had when they would bite, would hang on for dear life and just grind and grind into your flesh and not want to let go. They are the blood-drawers. :devil: The hens seem to bite quickly and are done with it, and for me they will tolerate more of whatever it is they don't like before they bite. But if you push them, it will still pinch. :ausb: So you could very well have a hen. If you are able to set up a photobucket account (I was asked to login from your link too) please post the picture again so we can see.

 

Let me know if you are not able to change your avatar.

oh dear, Im very sorry that facebook didnt work for my pics. See below for photobucket images.

Rainbow - very interesting reading! I wouldn't trade Yumi for the world.. it is very strange that in a household of pets he was the only boy - or so we thought :budgiedance:

 

Also, thank for advice regarding Avatar - this stuff is still all pretty new to me.

 

Mandi & Yumi:yellowhead:

Your link isn't working for me.

 

When you sign into your photobucket account, there will be different links under each picture you have uploaded. Depending upon the size of your photo, copy either the IMG link or the URL link (IMG if your original is under 450 x 450 pixels, URL if it is larger.) and paste to your reply on the forum. It should show up then. You can also check your links before you post to the forum by using the preview post button instead of the add reply button. That way you can see if you can reach the page or not.

 

Would you mind trying again? I'd love to see Yumi!

Your bird could be a female, but the picture is not conclusive, but it looks a bit like a Recessive Pied, so it still maybe a male as male Recessives keep a Pinkish cere through out their life. When it gets it’s adult plumage it will be more certain.

 

 

Here are the pictures.

 

I say you have a female. It looks more brown than pink to me
