This is my first budgie, I decided to call it (i say it because as you will see i am unaware of sex) Charlie, I have only had it a couple of months and im really enjoying having a budgie as a pet, but i neither know the sex or age of my budgie. Any help would be apricated Thanks in advance.

Looks like an adult hen out of condition to me. Green band is 07 I think.

I agree with Pearce. It is a hen (not in season). Not sure about leg band or color, but from what has been really pushed on me about telling age is the iris. There is a clear iris on this bird, but it's not crisp white yet, so for it to be almost 2 years old (based on a green 07' leg band) I'm not sure? I'd wait for experts on the age... I'd say about 12-15 months old or so at the most????

Thank you both, and thats good information to know, never knew about the iris (yes, i am new to budgies haha).

 

Thanks again

Female and just under a year old.
