Black on the beak is indicative of a very young budgie. Usually it disappears after a couple months or so.

Yeah, a lot of birds will have black on their beaks. This is ok and will grow out eventually, just make sure you keep cuttle bones for him/her to keep his/her beak trimmed down or else it will overgrow and you'll have to take to a vet to grind it down. You can buy these at pretty much any pet store. Here's a link:

This is common in young birds it is perfectly normal and will out grow it when he/she gets a bit older.
Happy Holidays! :)
