Intravenous Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 From http://www.budgies.org/In general, the color of a budgie's cere is the simplest indicator of sex in adult budgies: males are blue, and females are white, light beige, reddish, or brown. While it is fairly accurate, the color of the cere cannot always be used to sex a budgie. With some color varieties, like albinos, lutinos, fallows, and some recessive pieds like harlequins, both males and females have beige or pink colored ceres.Yours is yellow, so its quite possible that it is a fallow one, and therefore it could be male or female. Maybe you could take it to the vet and find out which it is? The sex of it might effect someones decision to buy it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 That sounds so tempting. I've been thinking about getting a pet heaps lately, but I'm going away next week for two weeks so it's bad timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 My next door neighbour lost both their budgies the other day.On nice days they leave the cage hanging outside, but somehow the birds managed to get out the door.So then I laughed.Then I felt a bit guilty 'cos those budgies have no idea how to live in Scotland, and will die.

the_collector Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 The verb 'to sex' or 'sexing' - refers to determining the gender(sex) of something. Has always been a bona fide verb. You learn something new everyday........although the phrase 'sex a budgie' does make me snigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcadian Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 My mum used to have a budgie, one day it was out of the cage and one of my dogs (a springer spaniel) managed to eat it. Well bite it, kill it, then deliver it to my mum as though it were some lovely gift (kind of instinctual for the dog so not it's fault).Apparently my mum loved the wee budgie cos she burst into tears. Not being the nicest person in the world ever, I found it hysterically funny, but managed to supress my laughter 99% effectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you never go to the evil fucking bird room of death at Hazlehead Park? Birds should not be kept indoors, nor should they be flying anywhere near my face.
