Is my forpus parrotlet a male or a female? When we bought pixel(is now 3 btw) the breeder had told us that it was a female so we kind of just went with it until recently.I have read that female birds dont have indigo anywhere on their body and especially does not have eyeliner,but pixel does not...

Hello, all! I have recently purchased two parrotlets and was wondering if I could gain some outside insight on what their genders are. I have a feeling the store I bought them from told us wrong, and I’ve looked at them so long my eyes have started imagining streaks of blue here and there. Any...

Hello a bit of a backstory of how I got this little one. I just got a white faced pied cockatiel that is over a year old. They are in a temporary cage right now although they will be going in a cage with my other tiels. Well I was looking for a female tiel and this one was offered by the...

Hello, my pets decided to have babies. I am very curious about their color mutation. Parents are what I think a yellowsided dilute and a pineapple (I will attach pic). Three of the babies I think they are like dad (yellosided dilutes) and one looks like a normal green cheek. Is this possible? No...

Hi Me and my wife have bought some cockatiels over the last year and are now planning to do some breeding. We think that sexing of the birds is difficult, and we would be very happy of someone could help us to determine. We would also very much appreciate suggestions of pairs that would be a...

Hi! I posted something like this awhile back while he was still a baby, but I still can’t figure out if my budgie is a male or female. I refer to him as “he” because I always have but his cere seems to change from pinkish to bluish to purplish throughout the day. He has gone through two molts...

Hi! We’ve been hand feeding this baby budgie and he’s almost weaned now. We’ve been referring to him as a boy. But now we are unsure! He seems to act like a female, but then again, he’s only around 7 weeks old. Also, I have no idea what his variety or coloring is. Let me know what you think!

Hello! My new budgie is a young recessive pied, which are very hard to sex. I've heard differing opinions on mine. Would love some feedback from those with more experience!

Hello, everyone! I joined this group because I'm a fairly new bird owner, with a bonded pair of cockatiels and, as of yesterday, two baby budgies! My tiels are Dio and Ladybird, the white is male and the yellow is female. I have yet to name the budgies for obvious reasons. I currently have them...

Got my first recessive pied budgie last week.the breeder told me it was female but I'm not so sure.can anyone help?4/5months old

Hello, This is my first cockatiel. I don't know how old it is but i think it's around 6 - 9 months old. I couldn't identify what sex it is so I came here to seek help. Thx in advance. In this video you will see its wings and hear the voice. If you need additional images or any other info...

Hi all, Brand new here. My son inherited 2 lovebirds, apparently 2 males. They are "young" but mature (over a year old) and are very healthy. They are well bonded, get along, and do all things a couple should do. But I want to check in on this. I understand that 2 males can bond and even...

I just joined here today. :) I adopted a parakeet from my work not long ago that was severely bullied by the other birds. At the time he had no butt feathers. :( I ended up nursing him back and then started to bond with him at work. After that I ended up just taking him home. Unfortunatly I am...

My lutino tiel is just over a year old. At first we thought she was a boy, but because of her lack of tuneful singing (skipping record yapping) we now think she's a girl. However the other day, Tango discovered masturbation. Then I realised this could be a way to sex her(/him?) Tango has a...

My 4 month old Pineapple GCC has been acting strange lately. She grabs my finger with her beak and puts either one or both of her feet on it, and fluffs up a bit and wags her tail. Does this mean she is trying to mate with me? The breeder DNA sex'd her female, but I'm not convinced she isnt a...

Hi, I recently bought a Lutino budgie. Can anyone please tell me what is the sex of this lutino budgie. I want to bring a partner for this budgie as soon as possible. I think its male as the cere looks light pink but I want to be sure.

Jewel - A rather flat, lightly-tinted blue cere covered in a tan-esque skin, with a few loose flakes of tan here and there. They're a very standard-patterned budgie with aquamarine blue. Lyra - A quite bulbous, fleshy-colored cere with somewhat pink tones. There is no hint of either brown or...
