Posted August 26, 200717 yr Here are some long awaited pictures of Sherbet, kindly taken by my best friend Adam Argh, l don't like being held Eh, it ain't so bad l guess Woah, sideways! This is my water, this is my food, these are my ladders and there is me! mmm honey stick! ------------------------------------------ Also - would anyone be able to confirm if he is... well... a he?
August 26, 200717 yr Author Aw :mellow: I'm not really disappointed, the only thing is l've bought a lot of blue things, and my dad said he , well... she, looked like a boy I'm happy either way, boy or girl, as long as she is healthy and happy, thats all that matters Thanks everyone for your help, throughout this past week, l really appreciate it! I showed my friend Adam this forum (he took the pictures) and he was surprised at how helpful everyone is here The forums he is on they aren't very nice, but he likes this one Not many pictures from now on, unless l can get Adam to come around and take some more I have also made a banner (well, Adam made that for me too!) for my signature, but seeing that you all think she is a girl, l will change the colours to pink/purple EDIT: Thanks FGM Your birds are beautiful too! EDIT take 2: My Dads getting a but flustered l told him what the verdict is on here - he still thinks its a male. Just wondering if its too soon to tell? Its only 7.5 weeks old. Dad thinks it looks blue for a boy. Edited August 26, 200717 yr by Missy
August 26, 200717 yr Sherbert is gorgous. Generally many people here can sex a baby by that age. I would say that's a girl as well, but from my experience from my budgies, I have two that started out looking like that but eventually turned out to be boys. who knows...
August 26, 200717 yr There is still a chance that we are wrong many times the cere of both of them look very similar. However a young male budgie will in fact have a very bright pink cere not blue. Mixed colours (from pinks to white) and light blue are a sign for a young hen. This Thread has a lot of pictures of young birds to help show the difference between male and females. Sherbert is a cutie. She is an opaline and I think a greywing spangle. Greywing becuase her throat spot are grey not black Edited August 26, 200717 yr by Nerwen
August 26, 200717 yr Author Sherbert is a cutie. She is an opaline and I think a greywing spangle. Greywing becuase her throat spot are grey not black Thanks Nerwen - l understand completely that it may be wrong, but l'm grateful all the same that you each told me what you thought! I also had a look at the thread - l think l'm starting to understand - its like the budgies switch genders after they are a few months old? For example baby pink = boy who turns out to be blue. Baby blue = girl who turns out to be pink/tan! Hope l got that right Also - opaline? Greywing spangle? I know what a greywing is.. but spangle?

It's there the wing markings are a thin black line. l think l'm starting to understand - its like the budgies switch genders after they are a few months old?

Ah l see, thats why l picked her, she looked really white, and l've always had a thing for white pigeons over the black ones, only because they are unique and different, so l picked a different looking budgie to the rest! With the sexing, how many months would it take to know for sure? I looked at the sexing thread, but the months vary.
August 27, 200717 yr your budgie is very cute, l also would say female. every budgie mature's differently, some cere's change sooner then others. so you may not be able to tell the sex for sure for a while.
