Boy or Girl?

[thekarens]

OK since it looks like we're keeping this guy my partner thinks he/she needs a friend, but I don't need more keets.

It's a bit hard to tell from the photo because its dark, but I'm guessing female.

Birds Online - General facts about budgies - How to find out about a budgie's sex?

 

[thekarens]

Thanks Phlox. It's hard to get a photo without freaking her out.

Look for white on the cere. Baby hens usually have faint white rings around their nostrils.

Nawww!!!!! Such a cute baby!! Too bad you didn't live closer! She could join my budgie flock! [emoji6][emoji4]

I'd gladly give her to you. She's young. Not that I don't like budgies but we're bursting at the seams

 

[getwozzy]

Lol! Awww come on, Karen- you know you want a flock of budgies!! [emoji6] haha

Still no word on who/where she came from?

I already have a flock of linnies LOL!

No and it's sad. On the Texas Bird Owners FB in this past week there's been 2 budgies and 1 lovebird found near where I live and no one wants to claim them. I think some people think since they are inexpensive they aren't worth caring for.

 

[getwozzy]

OH!! LOL! I didn't know you had the linnies- I thought it was just Sammy, Sidney, and Nameless lol

Oh jeese- that's so sad I could not imagine letting any of my little feather butts go. They're inexpensive because they're over-bred and they're "easy to care for" *sigh* I could sit and watch them all day- they're hilarious! and incredibly smart for their tiny size!

Awww, she sooo needs a friend, Karen...what's one more?
She is so beautiful as well. Thought up any names yet?
I think that some people get them, and then when they don't want them anymore just turn them loose. It infuriates me. But thankfully she knew where to head to find a great home!

 

[thekarens]

Along with the sennies and nameless we have 5 linnies and 5 zillion finches. I've lost count of how many finches my better half has.

I'm not opposed to getting it a friend, but I don't want more than two budgies so same sex would be ideal.

I forgot to mention we also have 4 dogs, two cats and one human teenager left in the house.

 

[Terry57]

If she is a female and you add another, you could call them Thelma and Louise

 

[thekarens]

Excellent suggestion Terry!

 

[getwozzy]

Oh wow! You do have a full house!!

I agree with Terry- she needs a friend and name them Thelma and Louise haha

 

[thekarens]

You're supposed to say, you're right, you don't need a budgie lol

 

[getwozzy]

You're supposed to say, you're right, you don't need a budgie lol

You're right- you don't need a budgie.

You need TWO budgies!!!!! Hahahaa

He/She is sure cute. Like Shirre said, budgies are hilarious to watch. They're so cute that they're funny. The little peeps and squeaks are cute too. Only thing that isn't cute is when they scream and go on and on especially with males.

Since it's so young (bars on the forehead) I think it's too early to tell. Dominant Pied color, so I believe it will get a cere color like a normal.

It's sad that no one looks for their lost budgies or lovebirds. People think they're disposable. "Oh well, let's just get a new one".

You're right- you don't need a budgie.

You are evil! LOL!
