HI there,

Im not sure if this in in the right topic place.

My 2 year old male budgies cere has recently turned a dark brown reddish sort of a colour, he is in an aviary with 15 other budgies, cockatiels and quail.

At the moment he and his 'partner' have 3 babies,

Is his cere changing colour a normal thing, does he have some sort of disease that the other birds could catch?

He is fine and dosent have a pooy bum or anything so im wondering why it changed all of a sudden.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Can you please post a picture, a cere in a male budgie changing like this is nor normal.

do you think it could be some sort of a disease?

I can vaguely remember reading somewhere about cere changing but cant remember where.
