Male or female? For me it would be a female but I do not know much, thank you in advance.
And if anyone would have clue about age.

I'm no budgie expert but my guess is she's still very young. Maybe a few months because of the faint stripes on her forehead. Might be too young to tell for sure gender right now but I'm guessing female since it looks pink.

I'll let the experts correct me if I'm wrong though xD

He/she is so cute!!

Your budgie is very young and has not been through his/her first molt yet. The stripes on the top of the head will disappear and leave a solid yellow patch as he/she gets older. At this point, it is impossible to tell the gender.

I'd say male - but I would also want a picture with as much natural sunlight as possible and no flash so that the colors come out the best.

It may be based on an old wive's tale, but I know a woman who can feel/hold a bird and "guess" gender ----she feels their abdomen/hip area and she has like a 95% batting average. AGAIN-- no science that I know of. I have just seen her do it repeatedly, and she doesn't claim to be psychic lol (so I know she is feeling for some sort of anatomical structure). IT IS EASY TO GET YOUR BIRD DNA SEXED...just saying, there my be other, less scientific way to (PERHAPS) guess...?
