Okay so it's not letting me go back to the post but whoever had given me the link for vinegar to use for my clothes, I want to say thank you!

I finally present the new babies.
They've been coming up to me when I come out but they're also very cautious of my sudden movements too so I've been careful to avoid scaring them.
The little cockerel likes to peck my fingers when I offer them food in my hand lol

Well that's not the way the gender ratios are supposed to work! I guess at least you got 2, but still a bummer!Good news bad news...
Good news is I will most likely get more chicks next spring
Bad news is I am 90% sure 6 of the 8 lavender orps I hatched are boys
Males have a bluish cere, females are pinkish to white, so yes I believe you have a boy there!Obviously I'm not irresponsible enough to go and get another bird
But just curious whether this supposedly 2yr old male budgie is actually male or female? Very pale cere, a bit blue, but very pale and slightly off colour as you can see. Suspiciously light for an adult...

I actually think you're right! Twocrows is correct that males have blue ceres, however I've been informed recently that female budgies can sometimes have pale blue ceres when not in breeding season- it's rarer, but it happens. Much paler than a dark blue that mature males typically get. Also based on behaviour, we are guessing that the owner was mistaken and she's actually a girl. (Until proven otherwise)Oooh, English Budgie! Fancy! I will go against both of your more experienced guesses, and say that this is a female.
Well... we already paid for her soAre you sure you don’t want a second one?![]()
