Gracie is Home!

[TikiMyn]

Ahwwwwww!!! Her markings look like angel wings! But of course all our fids are angels in their Own way, so you could say just bird wings too

 

[Lady Jane]

Better check with @PoukieBear because I too think she looks male if you go by cere.

 

[MommyBird]

So pretty!
I think Gracie is a wonderful name if she's a she. I can't even think of another name, but then I named my blue parakeet "Blue".
She looks so young yet with those forehead bars.

How old are they when they're ceres change? I think Gracie is still pretty young. I need to read up on my budgie stuff.

My two girls' ceres were light blue and white by 12 weeks old

 

[cassiesdad]

...actually, Omega has a bluish cere...

 

[PoukieBear]

I'm the different route. Helping Bob post pics of Gracie. Here she is...... How cute is she?!?!

Is this the bird that we are trying to figure out the sex of? If so, this is a male

...well, we will see! I was informed that Gracie was female. She is very young, so...

Omega-who is very definitely a girl- has a beautiful pale blue cere...

 

[Lady Jane]

I thought G is a male. Thanks PoukeBear for your expertise in gender ID of budgies.

 

[Fergus Mom]

@Budgiebonkers - Do you think, like Poukiebear, that "Gracie" is a male?
I thought male also when I first saw the pic above!
I love the name LadyJane suggested - Amber! I think that is beautiful.
I like the name Gracie too though!

 

[Lady Jane]

Bob, please don't hate me for thinking Gracie is male. Was your heart set on female?

 

[cassiesdad]

Bob, please don't hate me for thinking Gracie is male.

..there's no way that could hate you!

If Gracie turns out to be a boy, no problem...although we might have to think of a different name for "him"...

 

[WeasleyLover]

Gracie is such a cutie!!! Congratulations on your new flock member!

I vote for Harry... short for Harry Houdini. (Or Harriett for a girl?)

 

[cassiesdad]

My thoughts, name-wise, is something gender neutral...any thoughts?

 

[Peachfaced]

Don't shoot me for another H name, but I like Harlequin. It can go for boys or girls.

...interesting...

 

[Lady Jane]

My two male names: Martini and Fresca

 

[Fergus Mom]

...interesting...

I like Harlequin too - or how about Happy? Not very original I guess?
I guess Happy is better than "Yellow Bird".. (up high in banana tree...)! Although I do love me some Harry Belafonte!

 

[CrazyBirdChick]

I have a feeling no one's going to like this name but if it's a boy I like Bubba. Bubba the budgie
