My Two Newbies...not 100% Sure On One

Allo...just wondering if anyone can help me out. I purchased these two babies this morning and was told by the breeder who was pretty young that they were both boys...BUT I think that one is a lil girl (and hoping so too)

possible girl?

 

Apparently they are both about 4 months old and she had taken them to a pet shop who said both male...ahem...I am quickly learning not to trust pet shops...lol

 

I will take a jab at my answer at the bird being a girl (99% sure) :)

I think she's definitely a girl, and am pretty sure you're right on the other one being a boy.

Yes, and it's that pale clear/whitish blue of a hen.

You are right

both around the same age, both from the same breeder... hmmm I think you know by now that one is a boy and one is a girl :angry: Did she tell you if they were related? I would say they are. have no factual basis for that but just look very similar...

Totally agree you have a hen and a cock and they look like brother and sister :fear ....

I'm still not real sure about everything I am doing JB...but I was thinking that I could maybe cabinet breed them (obviously not together)...that would be a better option than in the aviary? What do you think?

That sounds like a very good idea :) I'd wait for them to get over 12 months old though. I've just realised your from the ACT, that's great I don't know if any other members are from the ACT, if they are I've never seen them :D

just from reading so much on here I too have not noticed any ACT members...I fink I'm all alone :)

It's all well and good :( I know a guy that breeds budgies up there in Canberra, nice guy too. Never would've guessed he was a budgie breeder. :(
