Looks like the green one is a boy and the other is a little girl from that angle. The best way for us to tell if you get us a photo with them facing the camera so we can see the cere, and we'll be able to tell you then.

 

But from that angle, I would say that the green one is a boy, because it is blue and the other looks more female due to it being a little more pink with white on it.

You have used a flash on your camera which throws out the cere colours. However your yellowface is a boy. I hold judgement on the other until we get some clear daylight cere photos with no flash.

Neither budgie is green.

And just a hint for your cage, which I find works wonders.

 

Put some newspaper down in the bottom tray, so that you just have to chuck it out instead of having to clean all the poop off the plastic floor. When you put news papers down it means they can walk around the bottom of their cage, instead of having to grab on to the plastic bars.

 

Edit: Sorry, my computer screen was out of whack and it looked green.

sorry but I state the yellowface is a girl

 

there are still bars to the the cere on her head! if the bird is that young it should still be bright pink for a boy

Best way to post WHAT SEX IS MY BUDGIE photos is no flash and daylight conditions....front on cere shots using macro setting on your camera. Tomorrow is another day

If that is true, is there a point to the cere being the same colour as a full grown male before turning in to the colour of a hen? Or is it just how budgies are?

Thanks for all the fast responses. I will take more pics today and submit them tomorrow.

 

@ Jabberwocky92 - thanks for the cage tip - will do that as soon as I get home

another hint ? as birds don't seem to walk around the floor much I line the plastic tray itself with paper ( mine slips out if it's the same type cage) . Birds can't rip it up it's easy to replace and a much easier cleanup.

Here are new pics taken with natural light and no flash

Hi Kaz,

I have taken new pics of my budgies (I have uploaded them on my post), can you give me your best guess at their sex. Thanks for all your help

do they have names?? that will help us tell you which one we are meaning.

 

the yellowface (which you seem to have picked the term up fast) is the bird in the first picture looks female as I stated.

 

the other looks male to me. He is an opaline and also a dilute gene is involved but maybe greywing?

LOL - the yellow face I have named Buddy (as I was told he was male) and the little white one is Princess (as I thought she was female).

The yellowface as stated by some others seems to be female. Even though the cere has a lot of blue it seems to be blue over white which is a female cere. The dilute is a little more ambiguous ........but I lean towards male for that one.

Thanks a million - seems like I will need to switch names - lol!!

i would say that the Blue (who i may add is a spitting image of my budgie Halo) is defo a male. but im not too sure on the other 1 xx

I gonna pitch at both girls. Post some more pics in a week or so and we'll all have another go!

Both boys!
