okay i got this budgie nearly two months ago and told it was a she and i belive it could be as she/he acts like a she by chewing on basicly everything in the cage eg:cuttel fish bone, mineral stone, food bowls, swings, wood and the things i build for him/her to chew.

he/she makes loud chirp noises and mad sounds like shouting. it is very bossy towards my male (george Jr) who is in the same cage as him/her. he/she is about 9 months old nearly 10. also when i first had her/him the cere was brown and crusty but then went the colour it is in the pictures.

pictures changed to link as size was over our 450 by 450 requirement

Good to see you here Jodie :( It IS a hen and others will help you with that also. She is a hen out of breeding condtion. Maybe a little young but definitely not in breeding condition.

So to double check, babies (as in not long out of nest) with a cere the same colour as Jodie's girl are generally boys?

NO....babies not long out of the nest that are boys have a purply pink cere. The budgie Jodie has is a hen of around 6-8 months of age approximately. Her cere looks as it would if she had just had her first moult and a brownish cere and now is in between breeding condition.
