Hi we got birdie on Saturday I'm sure the breeder told me his mutation but I can't remember lol also he was pretty sure that he's male but as he's only 8 weeks old he couldn't be 100% so any guesses will be welcomed his cere looks bluer in day light
I agree, grey green or olive green, it's hard to tell on the gender because the cere (above the beak) has a shadow in the first pic. What color does it look like to you? If it's mostly purple then you have a male, if there is white or if it's kind of a milky tone, it's a girl
The gender doesn't really matter when it comes to taking, it's really the amount of time you spend with them The key is to go slow and have patience!! I have had a female for a month now (Shrimp) and she is just starting to get used to being around us all the time, she is still afraid of our hands, but will eat millet sometimes when we are holding it! Is it possible to take a better picture of the cere, maybe tomorrow when there is natural light? It looks male to me in the first photo, but it's really hard to tell. And yes, females can still mimic words
Thanks to me it looks more blue in real life I'll take a picture in the morning. I don't mind the sex either way s/he has sat on my hand a couple of times today
