I am also saying 1 males and 4 females...however, I am a little iffy about that Lutino. It could be a male

Edited by Maddy

male in the middle of the top photo and all the rest are females

 

PS why do you have a nestbox on the cage ??? I would remove it immediately if I was you :(

 

They are far too young to have a nestbox.......and force breed them.

Thanks to all who answered my question.

 

Sorry KAZ but it was just a gift and i dont have any idea about the nestbox and the age of the birds. i did remove the nestbox right after i saw your reply. Thanks for the advice.

 

By the way the green budgie on the 2nd photo has a light blue color under his/her cere. The color is not that visible. Is she still a she?

Yes because it has white around the nostrils :)

Good on you for removing the nestbox :)

 

Females who are young or older ones not in breeding condition will have ceres with both white and blue....its normal. :)

Violetpiedmad....forget what you have heard about white nostrils...its a commonly stated thing but the fact is its an overall white not a nostrils thing.
