when i was buying my budgies the guy who works there blew on the bird's butt to find out if he is male or female. Then i tried it to see if i can see anything and I cant. is there any other way to tell their sex besides the cere?
Answers:
Males: A male budgie will bob its head often while it sings and moves back and forth on its perch. This is their mating dance and many young males will practice this behavior.
Females: A female budgie will sing less or cannot make vocal variations like the males. Instead, they will mostly make loud chips and calls; very rarely will they sing. A female budgie can show signs of being territorial by becoming bossy towards their owners or other birds.
the only other way i can think of is to have them sexed by a vet... they can do this my taking blood samples from their blood feathers and it is 100% accurate... good luck!
Guys = blue noses above the beak
Girls = Brown noses above the beak
You cant see anything in the butt.
You'd have to bring the bird to the vet and they take a blood test to find out the sex but ask them first how old the bird has to be before they can give the bird a blood test.
Good luck!
Look above their beak. If it's pink, it's most likely a girl. If it's blue, it's most likely a boy. But the only way to know for sure if to get a DNA test from the vet. I think the guy at the store just liked blowing on the bird's butt. Haha. If anyone else has heard of that way of sexing, I'd like to know.
The only thing I can think of is to look at the cere (where the nostils are located). If it is purple or blue, its male. If it is a white, tan, or pinkish color, its female.
You can also tell the age by the head. The bars on the crest will tell you. The more bars leading up to the beak and cere, the younger the bird. The less bars, the older. Where the bars shoudl be will instead by a pure white.
Or you can get it DNA tested, but the cheapest way is to just look at the head.
it really easy to tell. if it has brown above the beak it's a girl. if it has blue above the beak it's a blue.
Yep. It is much easier. You look at the cere or nose on top of the budgies beak if it is a male it should be blue if it is a female it should have a tan cere.
