How do you tell if a parakeet is a girl?
It's often really difficult to tell the sex of your parakeet or budgie. They are only sexually dimorphic on their cere. The cere is the fleshy part just above their beak. It is the area of skin around their nostrils. The remaining areas of a budgie body, whether male or female are too similar, often identical, to be able to tell the difference in gender. However, if your budgie is younger than twelve months, then it may be impossible to visually identify whether it's gender is male or a female. If that is the case, then you will have to take your budgie to an avian veterinarian to be surgically sexed. To determine parakeet gender yourself, take a look at the cere. In normal variety males the cere will be blue or purplish. If your budgie is recessive pied, fallow, lacewing, lutino, or dark-eyed clear then the cere will be bright purple or ping. All female budgie varieties develop a white, tan, or brown cere. The brown ceres tend to be flaky and thick. Some experts also agree that there are some behavior differences between budgie sexes. While this isn't scientific evidence that they're either a male or a female it can help in the parakeet gender identification process. Behavior differences include: Male Parakeets: -Head bobbing -More Singing -More Active and Social Female Parakeets: -Bossy -Louder -Don't generally sing I hope this was helpful :)

Is it normal for a parekeet to have red eyes?
This is normal, it just means that you have a LUTINO parakeet or an ALBINO parakeet. All LUTINO and ALBINO parakeets have red eyes, because they have have a large absence of melanin pigment, which is completely normal. Also, if your parakeet is white it is an ALBINO parakeet, but if you parakeet is mainly yellow it would be a LUTINO parakeet!
Is there a difference between budgies and parakeets?
Baby parakeets are tiny and have very little feathers and are not ready to be adopted into a family unless the family has a lot of bird experience. The parakeet you probably want to adopt is a fledgling, which is kind of like a teenager. Fledgling parakeets have larger heads. Adult parakeets have thicker feathers. Adult parakeets have longer tails. Adult parakeets are larger. Fledgling parakeets have stripes on their whole head extending down to their eyes. The less stripes on its head the older it is. Fledgling parakeets have black eyes and as they usually get older they get a white circle around their eyes.
