Hello and good evening, I have a young albino budgie that I'm planning on breeding next summer. However I'm not sure if it's male or female. I'm planning on getting a single factor pied female if it is a boy, but if it's a female I have a nice looking Sky blue male in need of a mate. She or he does bite HARD so I had to use gloves lol, here are some photos below

Albinos are difficult to tell apart, and pretty much impossible when they are immature. From what I've read, adult males will have a pink cere while females will have a 'nude' colored or brown cere. So I would hold off for a while on judging, or wait and see if someone on here is a budgie expert.

Ok, thank you so much. I forgot to mention that he is actually related to a double factor pied female that I'm pairing with a different make. Here is a photo of his sister. She is white with a blue bottom and her cere is full brown. Also all my breeding males have blue ceres.

They look very beautiful in your aviary! I haven't had budgies since I was a kid, but I posted what info I could find on the internet.
