Alfie is a little girl . Sometimes males have a small amount of white surrounding the nostrils, but not as much as Alfie has. In person, does the opaque chalky white color cover quite a bit of the cere like it shows in the pic?

It’s a common misnomer that budgies behave a certain way because of gender. It is not true, and behavior depends on the individual’s unique personality.

If you haven’t already, please read through the Site Guidelines. Also, the Stickies we have posted in each section. You’ll find lots of important information on budgies, and help get you started here.

Looking forward to seeing more of Alfie!
