So we have 6 Budgies, and I'm pretty sure that these three are girls, but I got some better pictures to ask y'all's opinion, I'm also curious about their color too!  Grey...  Bluey...  Teal...  Thanks! |

I agree with lisamarie, I think the first two are girls, the last one could be a girl too, the cere looks the same as the budgie that fooled me once haha I thought it was a he but it turned out to be a she  By the way, their colours are so beautiful! I want to know Grey's mutation *-* |

I'm really curious about their color mutations too! Thanks for the answers regarding their gender's! :~) I need to get good at spotting young boy budgies... I can't find any older one's that are looking for new homes in our area (looked on Craigslist and asked around a little, no luck so far.) So we may end up looking into getting another young one at the pet store nearby. All their budgies are 4-6 months, but I don't know how to tell gender so young! I'm reading other posts and learning now... I'll post more pic's of Grey first to learn about his color. :~)
(I really love this forum! I hope that someday I can be as helpful to a new member as you all have been to me so far!)

Look for a budgie with a solid color cere. Like a bright blue or a bright purple. If you see any mixing of colors or any possible white coming through, that is a female. The cere is the definite way to tell, but if you see one bobbing its head, that's usually a male also. Although you cannot go solely by behavior, it does help with the cere color also

SarahJo, I'm certain that with time and learning, you will be wonderfully helpful to those coming up behind you.
Your girls are lovely! Yes, look for richly colored ceres to find baby boys. If there's white, it's a girl. If it's a gorgeous purply pink color, it's a little boy.
A couple other places to look for budgies needing new homes would be your local yardsale Facebook group, and try calling the area vet offices. Oftentimes people will post ads there because they want to find people who are kind enough to their own animals to take them to the vet, when looking for new homes for their animals. The receptionist should be able to let you know if anybody's looking to rehome their birds.

Yeah... Our 'Gray' came home with a white belt, which is now very much Yellow. Since she's a yellow face type two, the yellow is now diffusing into her grey, I'm kinda curious to see what she looks like in 6 months!
