One girl asked if this budgie is a girl of boy. I think it a girl and it scratched half of her cere. But I was almost attacked by one boy telling me, that this budgie has mites, so I cannot tell the sex.

It doesn't look like mites to me, I think mites would look different on the brown side, what do you think? And do you think it's really a girl as I thought?

 

Thanks a lot

 

I don't want to give wrong advise, but I was so sure

It is a girl and maybe she is going out of breeding condition so the crusty brown is falling off? I haven't had a hen so I don't know how that happens if it can happen in pieces.

It doesn't look like mites to me & it looks like a hen going out of condition. It looks like a Crested Budgie.

It's a budgie that is going out of condition.

I agree with the other opinions. Its a HEN budgie going out of condition. And YES the cere can flake off in sections like that. No mites, at this stage

Thanks a lot . I'm happy I didn't give her wrong advise. That's what I think as well

Yes Norm, It`s is a crested Budgie.

Yes, she is crested. It's actually first crested budgie I've seen here. I think they are quite rare here. I didn't even know how they call them in czech
