It is typical for adult make budgies to have a blue cere, while adult female bugies will have a brown cere. For some genetic mutations in companion budgies, the cere color does not change, such as in albino, dark eyed clear and lutino budgies. Immature budgies will usually have a pink cere whether they are male or female.
To find out more information on how to tell if your pet budgie is a male or a female, check out this FAQ article all about Budgerigars which explains it in more detail:

The article also explains more about the characteristics of Budgies and how to care for them.
In general, male keets have blue ceres and females have white/brown/beige/tan. The cere is the colored area above the beak. However, the cere has to be fully colored out (adult coloration) or the cere color may change with the first and/or second molts, depending on the overall coloration of the bird. Additional information about various color mutations/cere color can be found on the internet.

∙ 12y agoit is very easy to tell what sex your budgie is just by looking at their nostrils/ the two circled holes at the topo of their beak. it is a female if their nostrils are either brown or a very light colour like a pale colour. it is a boy if their nostrils are a dark blue. sometimes those colours are all mixed up and thats when it is hard to tell but all you have to do is wait to see what colour it changes into.
