Reading through here, i reckon my beloved budgies are :

mint - male, the green one, adventurous, the first to try new toys and food

goldie - female, yellow one, loves to fly and disrupt the group, if correct and is female, really flirty

rain - male, the blue one, the most conservative of the group, the last to try new items

may you correct me if i got the sexes wrong?

Is there anything that i should watch out dynamics wise with them in one cage? Thanks

Can you share better pics? On this photo they all look like females to me but I'm not sure because the quality isn't very good. Probably you will have to seperate them because keeping 3 parrots in one cage often ends on fighting

How old is lutino (yellow) one? green and yellow still look like females to me but I'm not sure the yellow one, maybe it is a male

You are right. They could all be females. I have attached more photos here.

Will there be an issue having three of them in a cage?

Probably yes, there may be a problem in the future. Two of them may start be friends and one may be without a "friend" and then they may start fighiting. I don't mean they will fight in 100% but most of cases keeping 3 parrots in one cage end on this. I also had problem like this (with Bourkes, not budgies) and had to separate one. At this moment also I have 3 fids in one cage but mixed species because this one Bourke isn't brave enough to chase budgies or doing them enything bad
At the past I had 3 budgies in one cage but the background was another - it was a familly (parents ans their son). Once time mum fighted her child and also had to separate her but as mentioned - background was totally other
