Do you have male or female Budgie? 🌼❤️

[@Zahinoffline]

I have both

[@yuiikii]

Male is better in my opinion because their calm and never bite me but but both male and female is cute

[@duck_games6897]

I have both but my female is chaotic😅

[@yuiikii]

I have both I was taught when baby budgies have a white cere its a female if boys have a pink cere I love all my baby budgies .

[@anjugupta4108]

I know that most of the people prefer male budgies over female budgies. But, I love both of them. And, I have a cute male budgie and a naughty female budgie. And, your way of loving and caring your budgies inspires me the most! Lots and lots of support from India. 😊

[@vilearninglife4723]

Hey Anju. My name is Vineeta. I recently got two budgies. I would love to subscribe to some Indian budgie support group where I can talk about my budgies and get help when needed. It is only my budgies day 5 with me and I love them so much.

...And my girl budgie is extremely loving, chirpy and talkative... but she does have her moments of aggressiveness, too :)

[@victhom19]

I got my first budgie and the pet store told me it was a boy. It was more quiet and didn’t chirp as often. I got my second budgie which was also a boy. Wasn’t until later I realised the first one was actually a female. Took me half an hour to adjust to the shock but got over it very quickly and I love them both to death. I can see the traits in the female as she bites harder and is definitely more bossy to the male one.

[@marb.2399]

Yes, my female budgie is the same way, more aggressive and bites a lot, she always wants to boss my male budgie

[@gericoronado9213]

I had two male English Budgies for 10 years in the same cage. Bebe had a blue cere Michael had a lavender-ish cere. At the advanced age of 10 years, Michael laid an egg!

[@Hippyboo]

Same kinda thing happened with mine. I named my budgie Bee who I thought was a male at the time and been calling her bee boy for like 4 years straight until she laid an egg 😂 i was like so your a bee GIrL lol after watching this it all makes sense now cuz Bee was so aggressive and bit me hard, always did just loud angry chirps and squawks. I thought she just hated me lol And she definitely got along with my brother's male budgie lol

[@listercat424]

The mother on the TV show The Waltons actress name was Michael Learned, not Michelle , so I thought it was kind of weird at the time.

Man what a "eggntastic supprise" Get it ? Something happened with me too I visited my aunt's recently and they had brought 2 budgies and my cousin's little sis told me that they were in love because they were doing usual budgie stuff like petting or cripping to each other(my c's sis is 6's years) but when I told her they were both males God her face 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omgggg!(!!!!!!

[@MuaadElSharif]

The color of the nose is the way to know. Blue is male. Brown is female. It's better to keep them in pairs.

[@NotSoNormal1987]

I have both. I've got 4 budgies. And they're awesome. I meant to buy a male for my 4th bird, but I think it is a female. But I still got the right bird regardless. I know 2 of my birds are female and one is male for sure though. Calisto tends to sing and chirp more than my female birds. Phoebe and Pandora are more aggresive. But they're funny and playful too. Psyche is my wild card I suppose. Playful and chirps all day. Such a funny birdie.

[@elisavet6348]

Nice names

[@AZDrawz_samosa]

The way I tell if a budgie is a male or a female is by looking at their sera. Thank you for the great video Alen!

[@palak_05]

Okay..I have an incident and you won't believe it... When I bought my first pair of budgies...the shop owner said yello one is female and green is male...but now after 6 months...the green one who I called JACK laid eggs...It was completely...(no words)...Yellow one turned out to be a male but I recently lost him....

[@UranusAngst_LOVER]

When i first got budgies i had 2 females without knowing Thats because i had a baby budgie almost a month old I got a male when i found out i had 2 females but sadly the female that wanted to lay eggs didnt like him and killed him (Rest in peace Milo) But now i have another male that she likes and they had 3 babies One of the baby budgies doest have fingers or the long wing feathers it needs to fly but he is happy with my other female budgie (They love sleeping together and share their food)

That was very helpful! That 7 minutes went by very fast too. Thank you for the info.

[@bonD6002]

Its also their own personality and how you raise them. I wanted males because I wanted a social bird, but day 3 of taming my bird she LOVED being pet on the head despite not stepping up and was shy, rarely chirped. My 2 other females (sisters, which I also thought were males), like to sit on my head and are VERY talkative, and hop like the sparrows outside, but dont want to be touched. They still have distrust of hands from their breeder who gave them to me before they could even fly. Getting a cockatiel soon, still hoping for a male this time 😂

[@eMKayyoUwhY]

We have 3 budgies, an old female (10 years old) and two young males (6 and 9 months old). Our previous male passed away 9 months ago. Females are more "aggressive" (not aggressive, but I don't know the right word for it right now) to other budgies, but are very sweet for humans when tamed. Males are softer, but they can be territorial. Our old, passed away, male was my best friend. He almost ignored my girlfriend. If the female tried to come to me, the male attacked her. All the budgies we own/owned, have/had another personality. We never had two budgies with the same personality. That's why they're social birds, just like humans.

[@susieg4624]

I kept budgies for a while. It all started when I went to the vet to collect one of our cats after she had an operation, and while we were there I saw there was a beautiful blue budgie in one of the post-operation cages. The vet told me he had flown into the windscreen of a car right outside their door, that he was thankfully fine and he needed a home. No prizes for guessing that gullible here agreed to give him a home. So then I bought several of the largest cages I could find, combined them together and took out the walls between the cages so that he had a decent-sized space to fly in. I then went to Tooting Market (in London) to buy him some friends. I bought 2 birds from the male budgies cage, but it turned out that the person who sexed them had got it wrong (they were young and the skin patch around their nostrils [called the cere] was still an indeterminate colour), and they turned out to not only be one of each sex but a pair, so once again my original budgie was isolated. After I visited another local pet shop I found another friend for him (female) and thankfully that went well, so 2 nesting boxes later there were 11 babies and 4 adults. And then I visited my normal pet shop for treats and food for our cats, the budgies and our daughter's hamster and, guess what?! Somebody had left a beautiful deep teal-coloured male budgie in a shoe box on the front door step of the shop. As the shop didn't sell animals, only food and equipment, no prizes for guessing once again - more cages plus another friend. Don't let anyone tell you breeding budgies is difficult, which one of the pet shops told me!! At one point I had over 40 budgies (which is very noisy), and you have to spend time with each one to get thm used to being handled. Plus I had a full-time job and a daughter at junor school who needed help with her homework etc, plus a husband who thought he deserved as much attention as the birds! And then we had to move for my husband's job, and couldn't find anywhere to live that would allow me to keep so many birds, so I sadly had to give them away. I tried to insist the mated pairs were kept together but I doubt they were, and I still feel sad and guilty for them over 10 years later. They were such strong little characters, and such beautiful colours.

[@cherylkinkaid6801]

I have 4 girls and they fight! I love them though. I adopted them from the sanctuary because the girls are harder to adopt out.

[@alenaxp]

That is so great! Awesome

[@eddy5097]

Female budgies are more entertaining they have more personality than the male budgies and yes they can be silly naughty crafty lol

[@EmilyxStawberry]

I love birds so much

[@minsuja8257]

The blue bird is so pretty. I want to know the food it likes and its surroundings.

[@Amiahs_Gold]

I can see big defrences in the gender for me is that male budgie are so energetic but female budgies are so calm

[@rangerlcfc]

I have a male and a female budgie. Always had males growing up as a kid. I got the female first so she’s hand tame. She’s a happy bird, very friendly, but quiet. I Got a male to keep her company about three months later. He Literally doesn’t stop tweeting. From When he wakes up, till he eventually goes sleep. From my experience, get a female

[@Isurvivedheftonworld]

Alan, I have a very important question, My male bird, Bingo, is very afraid of me, and my female bird, Terry, is slightly less afraid. I have had them for 9 months, approximately, but I did not care for them while they were young. I’d love to learn about how to gain trust in them, and, truthfully, play with them. It’s been very hard and I’ve been working at trying to tame them for 2 months!

[@aakritibhardwaj1604]

I have one female and three male budgies ❤️

[@fishmut]

The sex of your budgie is important to some people male or female , breeding them they produce beautiful colours, then sexing them later can be challenging , males / females colour Cere above the beak , the sex of a budgie doesn’t worry me if it’s a beautiful bird and has a lovely nature not to wild.

[@-BirdsRegion]

have a nice day friends, beauty, bright color. then there are parrots, Corella, Kakariki. 👏👍🐦

[@raggedyanarchist]

Jeeeeeez. This dude makes female budgies sound like hell spawn. Fortunately, either can be tamed into a nice little pet. They've all got their own little personality, but if I were to make sweeping generalizations based on mine, I'd say males are more affectionate, but females are more playful. A male may prefer a cuddle sesh when he gets out-of-cage time while a female might like it if you set up an activity table and play with her. Males are more likely to talk, but females are more likely to take to activities like flight training. Males will be your silly little boy, females will demand to be treated as your equal (which some see as bossy, apparently, but I think it's cute). Anyway, I've had a lot of success with both, so don't give up if you accidentally brought home a baby bird you were told was male only for its cere to turn beige when it gets a little older. You can still have a wonderful friendship with your bird.

[@bonnieb7608]

I've got 17 budgees right now. 2 I'm hand feeding, 2 just weaned and 2 the momma is feeding. The weaned are from the first clutch. My next clutch is from my Hermie who I thought was a boy when I got her. For the last couple months the behavior has changed and Hermie had just laid her 6th egg last night 😂 I've learned to always watch their behavior and the cere to figure out if they are male or female. I love your videos and how you teach everyone different things about all of our babies. I'd love to do a KZbin channel with my babies but I don't even know where to start our how to get people to see my videos if I did lol.

[@dracorn8558]

Health Problem Considerations: I have owned 4 female budgies. Remember, even if there are no males around, female budgies will still lay eggs if the conditions are right: warm, safe, lots of food and water. I had problems with budgies laying eggs and I couldn't get them to stop. I have lost two birds due to female problems and a third had lost a leg due to female problems. One died from cancer of the ovary, and the 7-1/2 year old otherwise healthy bird got her hormones up and tried to lay and egg, but became egg-bound (the egg was partially laid and would not release). Even though I got her to the vet the following morning, she died. The last bird had laid over 30 eggs, despite our best efforts to get her to stop. She developed calcification in her kidney, which put pressure on the nerve going to her leg, resulting in a paralyzed foot. After lots of expensive vet bills, it looks like she will recover (she is no longer trying to chew off her foot), and she may have a reasonably normal life. Female budgies can have female health problems - it's a roll of the dice, according to my vet. Not that males can't have male problems - I don't have experience with that. I will say that next time I get a budgie, it will be a male, and just one at a time. Fortunately, my husband is retired and can spend lots of time with him.

[@birdiiii]

I find that females are more shy and quiet (but still sing) and males are more easy going and more open to taming. Both are great but it just depends on what you want. Another thing is that females can get hormonal and aggressive

The previous owner said they were mean and loved to bite really hard, but I find that hard to believe because since I've had them I've given them so much attention and they trust me enough to eat from my hand and perch on me. I definitely have been doing research and learning everything there is to know about them. They both will be going for a vet visit soon so I can make sure they're both 100% healthy! I've become so attached to these 2 and will be doing everything possible to keep them happy and healthy. I love them so much and they have helped me in so many ways they'll never know.

How has the gender ratio impacted the relationship between the males? I heard for example if there’s two males and one female the two will fight for the females attention.
