Is My Little Pied Youngster A Male?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone

My little pied youngster is really confusing me...the cere colours have been so changeable for many weeks.

Would love some help please! :)

Thank you Budgie Lov3r...The photos were taken in natural aviary light, no flash.

I originally thought female, right up until this last week...Hmmm...then started to swing towards male :)

I've been fooled with a few pieds before - sometimes only breeding season clinches it hahahaha.

Even looking at them at different times of day in differing light just brings more confusion - seems I will never be confident in accurately sexing some of these cuties, even after many years.

Really appreciate your opinion, thanks for taking the time :)

Thank you SO MUCH everyone, I'm very grateful! It's becoming quite a wee character and getting quite cheeky...definitely must be a male then lol.

Now I can hunt out a suitable name for him :) :) :)

Thank you again! :)
