Hello. It’s been a long time since I had budgies! Recently I’ve got a baby, but I’m trying to figure out the gender. Can someone help me a little bit please?
That budgie is extremely young and should not have been separated from it's father and siblings.
Budgies should be with the father and siblings until they are a minimum of 8 weeks old (this is accounting for the mother being removed from the cage when the chicks reach 3 1/2 weeks).
Do you know how old this budgie is?
It is probably not completely weaned at this point and may regress.
Do you have hand feeding forumula and know how to feed it if necessary?
The budgie is a little female.
Please take the time to read through the Site Guidelines, all of the How To Guides, the FAQs, the Budgie Articles and the stickies located at the top of each section of the forum.
Truly, the very BEST advice anyone can offer you is to take the time to read ALL of the stickies throughout the various Talk Budgie forums as well as the Budgie Articles we have posted.
These are great resources for Talk Budgie members and have a wealth of reliable information which will assist you to learn the best practices in caring for your budgies for their optimal health and well-being.
Hi. It wasn’t fed by his/her mother anymore so I took care of it. Of course I have everything I need and everytime when he know eating hour it’s coming, he starts to follow me any move I would make, hahahahah
Today the cere looks more purplish with less white. It’s still a girl?
To get started, please take a look at the links in the post above from FaeryBee, as well as the Announcement for all members at the top banner. We also ask that all members please read through the Stickies within each forum section. We do have some guidelines here at Talk Budgies that other forums might not observe.
Do you regularly breed your budgies? How many do you have? What are you feeding this baby? Are they eating on their own? You mention you have everything you need for caring for a possibly unweaned chick.. what are these things you have? Answers to these questions are much appreciated, and needed for us to help you.
If you take more pics of the front view, in natural light, we can help confirm the gender. From the second pic I’m not sure you have a female. Some males can have white nostrils, although the first pic looks like it has a lot. So more pics will help us be sure. In cases where it’s not real obvious, it’s harder when we’re not there in person.
As mentioned above, this little one is a girl. You've been asked some great questions by RavensGryf so that we're better able to help you
Meanwhile, please be sure to check out the forums' many budgie articles and "stickies" (threads "stuck" to the top of each subforum for easy reference) to ensure you're up to date on the best of budgie care. If you have any questions after doing so, please be sure to ask as we'd love to help.
We hope to hear more about the situation with this little one soon. Fingers crossed things turn out well for you both!
Cheers
