Hi there, budgie experts!
I'd like to think I could tell whether my little 15-18 month budgie, Nugget, is a male or female. His/her cere was blue when we got him/ her, however, we took this with a pinch of salt as I know they can change from when they are babies.
I was leaning towards male as Nugget is very vocal and very good at mimicking- I even think he/she tries to talk. Then the cere changed to pinky and then crusty brown, leading me to think- female. Nugget "burrows" down my jumper sometimes and has a bit of a hard peck, which also confirmed to me that he/she could be a hen. Now the cere has gone back to blue, so I'm very confused!
Here is a picture of little Nugget- based on this photo and the behaviour, what do we think?
