How do you tell if your budgies a boy or girl?

Answer 1

It depends on the species, as some are sexually dimorphic (visual difference between male and female). Also, if the bird carries a sex-linked mutation, it can be visually sexed. For example in Peach-faced Lovebirds, a female ino and a male pallid will create pallid females and pallid ino males. These are sex-linked mutations. The Lovebird species which are sexually dimorphic are the Madagascar, Abyssinian, and Red-headed Lovebird. Non sexually dimorphic species are the Peach-faced, Masked, Fischer's, Lilian's, and Black-cheeked Lovebirds. Current sex-linked mutations in Peach-faced Lovebirds are Cinnamon, Ino, Pallid, and Opaline. In households with single Lovebirds that are not sexually dimorphic, the only way to know without DNA testing or probing, is whether or not any eggs are laid. Though that is not a guarantee as many females do not lay eggs if there is improper care. Females do tend to be more aggressive, males tend to be more vocal as well, though that isn't always the case. The pelvic bone in females who have laid eggs previously will be split, whereas a males will be fused. Young females do not always have a space, though their pelvic bone is more rounded. Without a comparison it is not reliable. The best way to be sure is through DNA testing, though if you don't plan to breed, it shouldn't really matter.

Answer 2

The cere (part above the beak) is pinkish tan in a girl and blue or purplish blue in a male. This makes it pretty easy to remember: pink for girls and blue for boys.

but what if they're both blue and they kiss?

Answer 3

Well, you can't. People will tell you to do a DNA test but seriously dont waste your money on that. Female lovebirds are fat, lazy, bigger and there is gap between there legs while the Male lovebirds are small, slim, very fast, active and they are always alert and there is no gap between there legs. Female lovebirds bite a lot when compared to a male lovebird.

Answer 4

lovebirds male blue noise female brwd noise

A male lovebird has a point @the end of its tail and a female has a wide tail.

Answer 5

well you have to fell at the butt of the bird and see, there are two boney areas. boy: if its a boy the two bones are closed girl: if its a girl the two bones are open

Answer 6

Lovies have to be DNA sexed...they are not visually dimorphic (you can't tell sex by just looking at them). Visit Zoogen or Avian Biotech Labs on the internet for information on DNA sexing.

Answer 7

This color will tell you the gender of the bird

Well some birds.

Answer 8

usually the male is the more colorful one and the female is more plain

Answer 9

boys have blue noses and girls have brown but u cant tell until they r about 10 - 12 months old
