Heres some photos of my new birds.. the green budgies, ive had for one week.. my dad went and bought the blue budgies last saturday. So they're still fairly new.. Im a bit worried about one of the blue birds, can someone help me out. Can someone tell me their sexes? I know the last photo is a boy? Sorry, ive yet to name my birds yet.. The green budgie in the first photo is Rigor and Lela. The other two new comers have yet to be named :fear Any comments?

Hello and welcome!

 

That second last one seems to be a female. What makes you think that she is unhealthy (do I have the right one?), from the second photo of it looks like it has a rounded area near its bottom, is this right?

 

The very last one appears to be a healthy boy.

could be a cock... maybe a hen. (more like a cock out of condition or with testicular issues) need a cere close up to tell for sure. This one has scaly face and needs treatment. s/he also looks to be unwell. i can see a poopy vent and a fluffed appearance. This one needs to visit an avian vet asap

They are really nice birds.

 

If there is a nesting box in there, please remove it for now. they are not ready to breed.

The recessive pied blue looks like a hen to me.

And yes, remove the nest box.
