I know if the bird has a blue nostril it is male,

Springs looks like that one ^ is she a she?? :confused:
LOL! If its in the middle, it means its a baby and hasn't matured yet. You will have to wait a few months to find out for sure. Spring is only a baby. :) That's the color all budgies have whether male or female, when very young.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! thanks popcorn bird :). you are a great help all the time, just thought I'd let you know :D. I thought she was just a baby because she was WAYY smaller then Spanky is. ;). thanks again ..
All the little ones we have at work are like that, and I am thinking about making a sign with a chart explaining that they are babies so we can't sex them. I always feel bad because inevitably half of the people who want our budgies want a friend for an existing budgie, and I just don't know. ^_^ They're so cute though, especially when we give them Raspberries!! SO MESSY!
:eek: so that means Dexter might not be male? cause he is only a couple weeks! and his cere is in the middle:eek: Oh well it's slightly turning blue so thats a good sign lol!

my budguies is slightly blue and slightly pink, so I have no clue if Spring is a male or female :D.
lol....Spring is probably a female:)
I dont really vare either way though, Cheeko loves Spring and I'll kjeep her/his name whever Spring is :)..
It's weird, we were able to tell our birds' sex very easily at the pet store. And they were even young, about 8 weeks or whatever the normal age would be. I can't remember anymore :rolleyes:
I'm pretty sure that Dexter is a male because his cere is turning more blue than brown....and also the people at the pet store were saying he was a male.
that good :D. I hope Spring is a female -eek-
tikeyas_mom do you have any pictures of spring up close so you can see Springs cere?
thoughs are very close up, my web cam just really sux! sorry.
My web cam sux to lol
mine always takes such blurry pics I hate it. I wish I had a digital cam :(. oh well.
the people att the petstore don't know very much about animals....when i got my budgie at petco they told me that "i should be proud for choosing a male keet!" i lookded up on the internet about how to tell what it was and it was a female....that is not the only time that people at petstores were wrong.....once i heard a lady ask if she should brred her rabbit because it seemed stressed out from a move......they said yes and they talked her into buying a 3o$ bunny............that was a petland.......that's why i take things into my own hands when it comes to knowing things about animals before i go into a petstore.....lol
