Sex Of My Budgies

Featured Replies

Posted

Hello there,

 

Just looking for the sex of my budgies...

New budgie #1: I was thinking it was a female, but now I think it's a male...

New budgie #2: I thought this was a girl a well until I caught this one mating with another.

New budgie #3: This is the one that the above budgie was on top of. Female I think...

The pair together (#2 and #3)

New budgie #4 on the far left with #2 and #3 budgies. The other one is a female?

This is Yoshi, I'm undecided if it's a male or a female...

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.

Had to chanbge your photos to links as you posted them larger than our forum allows which is size 480 by 640

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.

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. :)

I agree with Kaz.

:D Thats so funny :P

 

 

cos Kaz hasnt answered yet :rofl:

I agree with Kaz.

:blush: Thats so funny :P

: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. ;)

Not a chance of happening without flash. 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

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.

a bird split for recessive will get a blue cere if male. Its only a visual recessive males that dont when we are discussing recessives and ceres.

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