Hi,

I think that this bird is a male (in the front- the back is obviously a hen), what does everyone think?

Looks male, very pretty birds are they from same clutch?,

No, I don't think so. I recently bought them, one the hen is older

He (I think) is a very pretty bird!

He is gorgeous, I had to have him!

Yeah, definitely a boy. Even if the hen is older, she could still be his sister from a previous round, if you bought them from the same place. What did the seller tell you? Actually to me, they both look like they are around six months old. Old enough to molt off their baby bars and get mature looking ceres, but not old enough to get their iris rings.

 

They are really cute. I, too have a soft spot for the greywings, especially when they have yellowface.

They were in different cages, but I am not entirely sure. The hen though is part English but the male isn't. I love the light baby coloured birds, greywings are one of my favourites, but I hadn't been that lucky in finding them, until these two

What makes you say the hen is part English? They look identical to me. Maybe it's just that photo.

That's what the seller said and she was in a different cage, so that's what I assumed

Doesn't look too British to me... Anyway that's not really important, what's important is you have some nice budgies. I'm gonna say its a male but it could be a female with a hormonal issue.

Hm, well they are both very nice, English or not. Your seller might be a perfectly honest person, so I don't mean her specifically, but I have stood in seller's living rooms and had them directly lie to me, and they seemed honest until I got home and found out differently. So sometimes you never know.

 

If you want to send me the Photobucket link to where you moved that photo to, I can edit it back in for you. (Use PM system.)

Oh Pul-leez!

Don't you like giving answers without giving an answer. It's great having a foot in each camp... It's a male, but it could be a female.

Yeah, it's hard to know who to trust :/

Here's a hint... If what I say differs to what others say, go with what they say!

Haha, I didn't mean not trust you, I meant some sellers
