Answer 1

HE is a male. The bluish purple cere is the give away. Females have a fleshy looking cere. Good luck

Answer 2

You need to look at your budgie's "cere". The "cere" is the area above the beak and surrounding the nostrils.
With adult budgies if the cere is bright blue the budgie is a male and if the cere is brown the budgie is a female. When a female is in breeding condition her cere will be dark brown and may become rough and crusty.
The above applies for most adult budgies except some color varieties such as albinos, fallows, lutinos and recessive pieds.
With young budgies the ceres of both sexes are the same colour, a purplish shade, so it is difficult to decipher their sex until they have been through their first molt at three to four months of age. Only then will the adult color show.
To the experienced eye the sex of a young budgie may be differentiated. The cere on a young male budgie tends to be more notable than a young female's in that it is fuller and brighter. It takes on a pinkish shade whereas a female's will have a bluish shade.
Another tip is that a young female tends to be more aggressive and bites harder than a young male.

Answer 3

From the photo is is a little difficult to be sure, but it looks like a hen to me. Here's the rule of thumb. Blue, or purple nares are males, and pink or flesh toned nares are female.

Answer 4

Your budgie is a young male

Usually the female ones always have white nose
and the male ones, blue noses, but yours is a male

Answer 5

You have a MALE parakeet there, it is male because it is over 4 months old without bars on its forehead and the nose is blue.

Answer 6

it's a girl. I know because I've got a pair of budgies a blue/black/white one and a white/blue/brown one.The mostly blue one is male because he has a blue nose. The other one is a female because she has a pink/brown ( i've seen them mate)

Answer 7

Your budgie is a male, i can tell because of the bluish color at the top of his beek.

Answer 8

He is a male, you can tell by the cere!

Answer 9
