nawwwwwwww......they're so cute :wub:

 

By the way, you should replace those plastic perches with either dowel or natural perches :)

Hi welcome to the forum :)

Your budgies are nice. Your blue one is a male.

 

In the future if you get another budgie. It is highly recommended that any new addition should be quarantined for at least 30 days. To prevent any illness from spreading to your current budgie(s).

 

I'm sorry about changing your pictures to links but they where both over the size limit of this board. You need to resize all future pictures within the limit of 640x480.

In the second photo, the green bird looks like a male. Sometimes a photo will overexpose the cere, making it look partly white, especially if flash is used or there is a really bright window nearby. Is that first photo really what your bird looks like in real life? With white on the top half of the cere? Or is it really an all over pinkish color, with just a little bit of a pale area?

 

 

Also, is it a recessive pied?

 

 

 

And hey, welcome to the forum! ;)

Hello Daniel-11, Have you clipped your birds wings or plucked feathers? None of them have flight feathers, that i could see in your photos, which is unusual even if in a moult and could be an indication of a problem requiring treatment.

Your budgies are really cute :) Congrats on being the new parent of a budgie.
