I had a thread in the Budgie Behavior forum about my two "males" fighting, but over the last few weeks I've noticed Zazu's cere starting to change. Now I think HE might be a SHE, and this might be why they have been fighting CONSTANTLY for weeks. Every time they go near each other they make the angry dolphin noises and peck at each others faces. Can you guys please have a look and tell me what you think. The pet shop told me they were both males, and when I first brought them home Zazu had a blue cere and Bernard had a purple one. I feel pretty silly about the whole thing

Bernard -

Zazu is definitely a girl, sadly a lot of staff have no ideas about how to sex a budgie, they simply think pink is female and blue is male. She is a very beautiful girl though!

Hopefully they will start to get along better soon

yes she is a girl the cere is just turning brown. hens do tend to get a bit bossy and make the dolphin noise more often then males.
