Hi there,

 

Here is my new (and as yet un-named), little baby budge. I'm not sure if it's female or male and I've been wrong in picking many babies I have seen that I'm not even going to try and guess this one . He/she's the sweetest little thing! Thanks for helping me out.

 

Trying to do too much at once and I forgot to add the photo. Anyway here goes.

Male

I would say boy because the cere is so pink but From where I am sitting I can see white around the nostrils , so could be girl. Did you use a flash when you took the photo.

Male. White only matters if its overall white on the cere.

Thank you all. I thought boy too. However, like I said, just a guess, cause I thought my other budgie was a boy and he turned out to be a surprise she. I didn't use a flash Splat, and I can see what you mean about the white around the nostrils - so confusing.

The way I see it with my birds (just wait and see), I have had chicks with the pinkist ceres and you would swear boy but have turned out to be girls.

Keep us informed have he turns out. If he turns into a she.

Both my cinnamon opaline girls had (and still have) pink ceres that look distinctly male, very little white at all. They can only be females however given their parentage

Well, thanks everyone. I'll post again in a few months when there's maybe something more definitive to look at. I don't really care if it's a boy or girl, but I do like to at least make a bit of a guess, and I like to hear about what experienced breeders see so I can try and see the same thing. Like I said previously, my female budgie Beanie, I was sure, (100%!) was a male, but over a few months there was a striking transformation to say the least!
