Hi to all. I am new to this forum, and despite reading your numerous posts on determining the sex of baby budgies, I am still not confident.

This is my newest addition, Jasper. We already have a tame male budgie, Henry. Jasper is around 8-10 weeks old and I am not sure of his sex.

All help is appreciated.

female for me.......

Thought I would add a couple more pics. The birds cere is more purplish than is showing on the pics. Finding it difficult to get an accurate colour match of the cere on pictures.

 

Thanks for any assistance The last three pics are probably a more accurate colour match.

female

it's a chicky babe to me

okay, final picture. I managed to get this one in natural light today, looks quite good match. I thought from reading this forum, I was leaning toward a male. Some of the pics show white rings around nostrils, but the are definately not that distinct in life.

Also, can anyone tell me its breed?

Cheers

Do you also have picture of it's back?

Jasper is DEFINITELY a female

 

 

and appears to be a spangle dominant pied.

Thanks to all,

so a female it is - should have guessed with how I was bitten by her! Lol.

Henry never bit me like that!

Well, hopefully she will be as much fun as Henry has been.

Was very excited to get your reply KAZ. From reading these forums, you are a wealth of knowledge

A photo of her back will show if she is or isnt a spangle dom pied

Here is a picture of her back

 

Whilst we are here though, can you tell me what Henry is. I hope he is a boy - thats what we were told when we got him. He is a beautiful bird, very friendly, about 6 years old now.

 

Thanks again

Dark green opaline spangle dominant pied female. tyhe other seems to be male recessive pied...............photos are fuzzy but the cere seems to be male on the recessive pied.
