Parakeets have a beak and the thing above it which is called the cere.
Your parakeets cere went from pink to dark brown and flaky to blue anyone know What is happening she is 4 years old this just happened this month?
Sounds like a female! When she is ready to breed she will get a brown flaky cere. And some females will develop blue cere's when around other females more than males.
If a parakeets cere used to be a light blue and now it is turning brown what does this mean?
it means that it is a female if it is younger then 1 year and it just turned around 9 months that means you have a female! I hope i helped!
Do parakeet colors change as they mature or start out lighter and darken as they get older?
If you are referring to their feathers getting darker or lighter as they mature then no. But in normal types of parakeets, such as the normal greens and blues, they have bars on their faces going down to their beaks that will vanish as they mature. If you are asking about their Cere (the fleshy part on their beak) It can be quite complicated. In MALE babies the cere will be a TRANSLUCENT pink with maybe some OPAQUE white around the nostrils. For FEMALES the cere will be mostly an OPAQUE white and maybe little blue. This is not always set in stone however. When they mature, males will have BLUE ceres and when it is breeding season they will turn an even darker blue. Keep in mind that this is for NORMAL parakeets; not lutinos or albinos. In normal female parakeets, the cere can range in colors. The femal's cere may be brown, white, pink, and various shades inbetween. When a female enters breeding season their cere will get a crusty look and will be a dark brown. After breeding season has passed the cere crust will fall off.

Is my parakeet a boy because of his pink and purple cere?
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
What is a cere on a budgie?
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.
What color is a female parakeet?
a male parakeets cere is dark (dark purple blue ect.)
How do you tell if a parakeet a boy or girl?
The male (Boy) parakeets have a BLUE nose/cere (right above the beak) and females have a PINK or BROWN nose/cere, and babies are white, purple or in between so you will not be a ble to tell until they are older. you can google it just tipe in "Pictures of male parakeet" and when that comes up google "female parakeet pictures" and you should see what they look like
