Hi there, sorry Im back again so soon with more sexing questions, new spangles this time. I've been looking for ages to find some more mauve/violet birds & was delighted to acquire these two young ones!

They have got to be the quietest calmest babies I've ever bought in, but when trying to get pics of their ceres....OWWWWW!!!!!...boy can they BITE!!!!!

 

 

Not sure if No.1 spangle is male or female - 1 day I think female, in another light I think, Oh no, think its male.

Hmmm...confused again!

 

I think No. 2 is a male? (also not sure that 1 is just a very pale-marked spangle or a clearwing)

 

Many thanks everyone!

When i read both were bitey i thought both hens but pics show what others said above

It is obvious that 1 is a hen due to the white on the cere.
