budgie sexing question..

[tikeyas_mom]

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


and if the bird has a brown nostril it is female.



but what if the nostril is in the middle.. example..





Springs looks like that one ^ is she a she??

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.

[tikeyas_mom]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! thanks popcorn bird . you are a great help all the time, just thought I'd let you know . 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!

so that means Dexter might not be male? cause he is only a couple weeks! and his cere is in the middle Oh well it's slightly turning blue so thats a good sign lol!

[tikeyas_mom]

my budguies is slightly blue and slightly pink, so I have no clue if Spring is a male or female .

[Tweety_Pie]

lol....Spring is probably a female

[tikeyas_mom]

I dont really vare either way though, Cheeko loves Spring and I'll kjeep her/his name whever Spring is ..

[primabella]

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

[Tweety_Pie]

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.

[tikeyas_mom]

that good . I hope Spring is a female -eek-

[Tweety_Pie]
