So ... I have 2 rescue birds. I know for sure the smaller bird is a male by the blue cere.

I am really not sure about the larger bird with the brownish purple cere. I was told she/it, is a female. But lately I have been witnessing her/it, trying to get on the little male & make " budgie boogie " with him.

 

Of course he refuses & fights her off ! Maybe cause she is HUGE !

 

So ... my question is. Could she/it, be a male ?

 

Also ... She/it, is HUGE ! I am talking mamoth budgie here. She's like an amazon !

 

She/it, is large & noisy & aggressive with toys & loves to dive bomb me & generally creates havock in the household.

 

I thought female budgies were more quiet & not so busy ? This bird is really smart & has no fear ... any new toys or any new food I show her & she will come & investigate immediately. Unlike her little boy buddy.

 

Anyone have any ideas ?

 

No, sorry ... I don't have a picture of her.

if she has a brownish cere with blue yes I would say hen

he is just probably refusing her advances

She might be a show type [british] Budgie compared to the pet type, there is often a great size difference...we would need a picture to guess about what sex.

I wondered about that. I wondered if she is an English budgie.

 

I was under the impression that the cocks would be much bigger then the hens.

 

Learning all the time !

in budgies I don't think that applies but as Norm said she probably is an English but a picture could confirm for sure.
