Posted September 12, 201014 yr Hello there, Just looking for the sex of my budgies... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...ds/IMG_2002.jpg New budgie #1: I was thinking it was a female, but now I think it's a male... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...ds/IMG_1962.jpg New budgie #2: I thought this was a girl a well until I caught this one mating with another. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...ds/IMG_1983.jpg New budgie #3: This is the one that the above budgie was on top of. Female I think... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...ds/IMG_1973.jpg The pair together (#2 and #3) http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...ds/IMG_1979.jpg New budgie #4 on the far left with #2 and #3 budgies. The other one is a female? http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...st31st20105.jpg This is Yoshi, I'm undecided if it's a male or a female... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk169/T...ds/IMG_2018.jpg This one is Youko. I've been thinking it was a female but you be the judge, haha. These are the ones I'd like to know as I have two others that I know exactly. (Deep blue cere and beige cere) Thank you. EDIT: Any info on what types they are and any general information would be cool. I just got the ones not named Yoshi & Youko not too long ago from someone (5 in total...) They said they were between the ages of 1 an 2 yrs old. They also said it was 3 boys and 2 girls...now I'm not too sure, I'm thinking it might be 3 girls and 2 boys? Yoshi and Youko were born in June...I think June 9th and 12th. Edited September 12, 201014 yr by KAZ Had to chanbge your photos to links as you posted them larger than our forum allows which is size 480 by 640
September 12, 201014 yr Here is my guess based on some of my knowledge-don't count on it, lol. Male Male Female Female in front, male behind. Going from right. Male female female. Male Male. Males have bright pink or purple when they are young or are a certain mutation. Females have brown in breeding condition and blue with a white overcast if out of breeding condition or young.
September 12, 201014 yr Hi and welcome. Your birds are pretty. Budgie 1, 2 and Yoshi look male and 3,4 and Youko female. All could be recessive pieds. Male recessive pieds cere stays purple as adults and also have no iris ring.
September 15, 201014 yr I agree with Kaz. Thats so funny cos Kaz hasnt answered yet :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I agree with Kaz, too, IF she says " Photos were taken with flash, which washes out the cere and makes it hard to tell." :rofl: (Except for the two hens who have obvious brown crusty ceres) (So Tribal Dan, we need photos without flash. Natural light, but not so bright that it washes out the cere color. ) But if I had to guess with these photos, I think Rachel might be right.

Extremely difficult as they won't stay still thus blurry image. I've taken countless photos over time and can only get results with flash. I tried again today. These opinions validate what I was thinking so that's awesome. Also, lol @ the Kaz comment. xD Edited September 15, 201014 yr by Tribal Dan
September 19, 201014 yr Author I'd like to say, #2 and #3 have laid their first egg on Friday Sept 17th. Yay!
September 26, 201014 yr Author 5th egg was laid on September 25th @ 7:00 PM. I hope it doesn't get any higher, lol.
September 28, 201014 yr Male Male Female Left to right - Female Male Left to right - Female Female Male Male Not 100% sure on this one due to flash but I would pitch at female
September 28, 201014 yr MaleMale Female Left to right - Female Male Left to right - Female Female Male Male Not 100% sure on this one due to flash but I would pitch at female well i just seen this topic and i totally uterly agree 100 percent with nubbly i looked at all pics wrote em all down and in end the same vertict as nubbly 5 so... no point righting it again what she said
September 28, 201014 yr Author Thank you. I was thinking the same thing when I took the photos. Also...update. Egg #6 Sept 27th 7:00 PM.
September 30, 201014 yr Author Update: Egg #7 September 29th 9:00 PM EST. I think we're screwed. LOL.

I agree with Golden wings, saves me the typing, the birds with pink ceres will be male, their's will not change to full blue, as they are split for recessive, same with the ino birds, ie; Lutino, albino.

Its only a visual recessive males that dont when we are discussing recessives and ceres. Edited October 18, 201014 yr by KAZ

Oh, means the ones I've got are full recessive afterall, always thought that they were splits, thanks for that.
