Its a sighn of a sickness.So separate that budgie.
Normally Blue is a cock. Brown is a hen
You can usually tell a male robin from a female robin because of the brightness of their colors. The male robin's chest and belly will be a bright orange (or burnt orange). The female's chest and belly area will be a duller orange (or burnt orange).
CERE
Yes. I trained my one year old budgie last year to do tricks.
Well it is sometimes. If you want to put a budgie with another budgie, you have to put the new budgie in a separate cage first. Then place the two cages next to each other so that the two budgies can get used to each other. After a few weeks, a month is best, you can put the budgie with the other one. Leave them together for a few days. If they attack each other, it is best to separate them again.
A cere is the waxy part above the budgie's beak. It is where the bird's nostrils are. In males it is blue, while females have a pale cere except for when they're breeding - then it turns brown.
A male budgie's beak, or rather, the cere above the beak, does not turn brown. A mature male budgie has a blue cere. If your budgie's cere has turned brown, you have a female that is ready to breed.
sexing a budgie is relatively easy. if the bird has a blue cere its a male if it has a pink or brown cere its a female
Normally Blue is a cock. Brown is a hen
a budgies gender is found by lookin at it cere the cere is the small thing found on top of the beak if the cere is blue it is simply a male but females are a dark tan the cere will darken as the budgie gets older. Thank-you!
http://auntieem.vox.com I uploaded a picture of some budgies to my vox page. The cere is the blue band just above the beak of the budgie that you can see in the photo. The male budgies have a blue cere.
All it means is that he/she is in breeding condition but he/she will have to be at least 12 months or older before ready, really its nothing to worry about.
Not when it's older than a youngster. Young budgies have black eyes and they are less muscular than adult budgies. But when budgie is about six months old, it looks and behaves like adult, and it's age is impossible to define. Colour doesn't matter.
The age you can tell when a budgie is a girl or boy is 6 to 5 months. In that timing the cere (the skin above the beak) will be a purple or pinkish colour. Then if a boy the cere will be blue, if a girl it will be beige or slight pink.
If the brown area is restricted to the cere, this is normal, as it indicates a female that is ready to bed. If it is a crusty discharge, the budgie is suffering from a respiratory infection, and must be taken to a vet.
Presuming that 'parakeet' means budgie, even though there is actually no species known as a parakeet, the cere, which is the part above a budgies's beak where their nostrils are, is bright blue on a mature male budgie.
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 :)
