how do you what sex a buggie is?

Question

how can you tell if a buggie is a male or a female

Answer 1

Do you mean a budgie? Like a parakeet?
You can tell by the color of their nose, or beak (called a cere).
Female budgies have a brownish cere.
Males will have a blue cere.
It's harder in immature birds.
The males will have a blue to rose cere, sometimes with a white ring around it.
Females will be more whitish, without the ring.

Answer 2

Male:
Young bar head males - (the black stripe touch the beak) will have a very bright smooth pink cere.

Older males- no bars and maybe an iris ring (white ring in eye) will have a strong blue cere which will be smooth.

Albino/lutino, other red eyed mutations and Recessive pied males- the males do not get the grown up blue colour but rather keep the baby pink.

Females:
Young bar heads - these can have a range of colours from a pinky tone with white rings around the nares to a blue white all over the cere.

Older females - The cere around the age of 6 months will start to change from the baby colour to a deeper brown and will start to appear crusty. This can change depending on the time of year, this dark borwn colour normally found when the female is in breeding condition. When she isn't the brown can peel off and be a light blue colour.

Alblino/lutino, other red eyed mutations and Recessive pied - unlike the males the females of these types get the same changes as any other female.

Answer 3

In general, the color of a budgie's cere is the simplest indicator of sex in adult budgies: males are blue, and females are white, light beige, reddish, or brown. While it is fairly accurate, the color of the cere cannot always be used to sex a budgie. With some color varieties, like albinos, lutinos, fallows, and some recessive pieds like harlequins, both males and females have beige or pink colored ceres. Other visual sexing methods include females having an almost invisible, whitish rings around their nostrils, and males having more rounded, bulbous ceres, both of which are often hard to recognize to the untrained eye. And many people also say that females bite harder than males and that males have rounder heads while females heads are more flat on the top. Hope this helps!

When they are coming out the nest the female cere will be creamy-pink.
The male will be purpley-blue.
When they are 10 weeks old females will have creamy-brown.
Males will be bright blue.

Pet shops say you can tell by the marks on the beak of the Budgie, but I am not sure.
