When I got my budgie from the pet store they said it was 2-3 months old and they couldn't gareentee the sex of the bird.
Around the holes in the nose it is faint blue but the rest of the nose is cream/light brown color. I know the boys are suppose to be blue and girls brown. Is it maybe to early too tell since there is a small area of blue. it is also just getting small hints of grey on its wings I dunno if that helps with age determination or not.

If the area around the nares is a faint blue and the rest of the Cere is cream/ light brown, chances are VERY HIGH that you in fact have a little girl.. its true that a male has the blue cere and the females is cream/tan but the female can also have faint blue around her nares when she is out of breeding condition, and since your bird is only a few months old its not sexually mature enough yet and the cere is still showing up with light blue, give her time and her cere will turn a crusty tan colour as she breeding condition.

Give it ALOT more time. I have 6 parakeets. When they are older the wpot above their nose will either be BLUE, or a white or Tan. Obviously the Blue means boy. Although, this cant always be true, becuz some of mine (ive had for 3 years) still go from partially blue to white. But 2-3 months is Too young, unless it happens to have ALOT of hormones.

Probably a male; a female shouldn't have blue on the cere.
However, I do have a budgie that has gender problems; he/she has gone back and forth all his life, and he is 4 years old. It's no problem since I've never tried to breed him.

it sounds as once you've a male who's only starting up to have the colour replace of the cere. although, you ought to attend, perchance yet another couple months even, be for you'll understand for constructive.

the size of the beak is how you can tell..the males beak comes down farther..and thats also why they can talk and the females cant
