Posted May 15, 200817 yr Hi all im yummymummy, or Lou if its easier to type, i have one budgie called tommy who i bought home a few weeks ago. Im presuming he's a boy but not entirely positive yet. he's very friendly and my 2 kids love spending time with him. looking forward to meeting you all.
May 15, 200817 yr Hello Lou! *waves* Welcome to Budgie Breeders! Congratulations on becoming a Parront. Do you know how old Tommy is? What colour is he? Any pics? I know, I know, very pushy! LOL we love pics.
May 15, 200817 yr If Louie's Cere(area around nostrils) is all pinky-blue then he is a boy if there are white rings around the nostrils then a girl, unless s/he is one of the few colours where this doesn't work ...should say that is if he is a baby, ifhe's full grown then blue for boys, pink-brown for girls.
May 15, 200817 yr Author that was a quick response! he is a lovely sky blue colour, not sure how old but his cere is still pink so would presume still quite young, pet shop says 6 weeks but my sister breeds birds and says thats unlikely so maybe a few months? will get pictures when i can, not enrolled with a host site yet but will try to get my head round it later. could someone check my profile for me? says im a man but at the last check i was female. changed it in my settings but maybe i did something wrong? bit new to this
May 15, 200817 yr sorry! shouldn't laugh. I am sure one of our helpful mods or admins will give you a sex change soon enough. :hap:
May 15, 200817 yr The trick to tell is whether there are bars on his head that go right down to his nostrils, if yes then stil quite young.
May 15, 200817 yr Author thank you for that, i did think he was older than the shop said and my sister thought the same but she hasnt been able to visit yet to give me her opinion
May 15, 200817 yr Author pretty birdie! thank you, yes in that case he is older than that - his bars fade out about eye lvl ish
