Hi all,

 

My darling son's just came home with a new budgie for me :)

I think that it is a boy but the lady at the pet shop has said that it is a girl.

Could some one please help

Many Thanks

May

It is a spangle, almost looks slate but that could be my screen!

 

Looks like a boy on my screen but girls can get pale blue near the base of their ceres, if it is brown near the top and round the nostrils it might be a girl.

Thank you every one :) . I have put her in her own cage and will keep her apart from my budgies until my babies are bigger. Is it okay to have them separated but down stairs in a ventilated area but in view of each other? I am not putting my birds back into the big cage (3m squared) until I remove all of the weeds and stuff around the cage. I do not want another snake to be able to hide in the bushes!

Quarantine is at least 30 days and at least 5 metres apart.....preferably in another room. Hope that helps :)

Thanks Kaz will do!

I have in another room at the moment but it gets alot of sun... I would rather put her in the other room which gets a good mix of sunlight and shade :D

cute little budgie you've got there... like kaz said another room is best otherwise 5 m away... good luck with the new addition.
