Posted September 3, 200816 yr A friend got a new Budgie (well will be getting him on Friday) She took a photo and asked me if it was a Cock or Hen. Sorry about the Bad picture but it's the only one she could get. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y238/flaw...budgie/cere.jpg I am leaning on the hen side as the formation of colour reminds me of Blues but I might be wrong.

September 3, 200816 yr I think it is a rec male . Going by the colouringAlso maybe possible scaly face on their too ... Need Kaz to confirm or deny this
September 3, 200816 yr Author Sorry guys was editing while you posted lots of photo in my last comment now.
September 3, 200816 yr Author See this is what you get from pet shops and she works there! then again least she spoke to me and sent pictures of the cage as they one they sold her was wrong but we are making do with it and least now it is set up right. Hmmm maybe she will be able to change the hen over for another one??? Also she was told it was 6 - 8 weeks old I am thinking older but then again i suck at these things.
September 3, 200816 yr It could be 6-8 weeks but in reality it looks pretty tame so age isn't too big an issue. Does she really not want a hen? Some of my friendliest birds are hens.
September 3, 200816 yr Author I think she has read all these bad things about hens and has seen my guys and all my really friendly ones as cocks. maybe I should send her some pictures and tell her about flame as I know that she really likes this bird. I know the hen bites but she is a dog trainer by trade and does amazing things with abused animals so a little bitting should not be an issue (I am not saying that if you can train a dog you can train a bird more that she has a way with animals and is prepared to put in the hard yards) also she is looking into clicker training which I am going to start with Boof so maybe it will be okay. Also the Hen will be a one bird family so should be easier to train that way.
September 3, 200816 yr Hen And she isn't young either her Iris ring are forming I say 3- 4 month mark and no scaly face sorry ... Is she is dilute? The tameness is cause her wings are clipped
September 3, 200816 yr Author okay the pet shop is claiming that it is a cock and said to post this picture to prove that it is a cock ]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y238/flawlesserr/budgie/_0902165.jpg We still taking hen for 100 right?

September 3, 200816 yr It looks like a Diluted Dominant Pied not a Recessive and I think it is a hen, some of the pics look like a male but I believe it is the 3rd one down with all the links looks just like a hen, I am sticking with Hen. This picture shouts HEN http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y238/flaw...ie/_0901096.jpg Edited September 4, 200816 yr by Elly
September 3, 200816 yr Author okay I have just been told that the last posted image is a different bird *bangs head against desk* I am going to tell her to pick the bird she likes and worry about sex later.
September 4, 200816 yr LOL Av - I was hoping someone pointed that one out as it didn't look the same as the first pictures you posted :DFirst is Hen and that last Wrong bird lol looks like a cock :hap: It looks like a Diluted Dominant Pied not a Recessive and I think it is a hen, some of the pics look like a male but I believe it is the 3rd one down with all the links looks just like a hen, I am sticking with Hen.
