Thistle Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 As you may know we already have one cockatiel named ZiZi we felt he needed a friend. So today we went to a bird sanctuary and rescued some friends for him we don't have names for them yet but here are some pics they are in a separate cage at the mo but will be introduced over the next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 That's awesome. Budgies are great little birds, I had one 6 years ago...a green one. His name was Pepi. If you don't know your birds' genders, its kinda hard to pick a name! LOL I think the top one is a baby (the cere doesn't have a colour. The males' are usually blue and the females' are a darkish red). T The middle green one looks to be a female but its hard to tell from that angle. The bottom one (the cockatiel?) might be a baby too, but I'm not completely sure because I've never had a cockatiel...so I don't know if the cere colours work the same way.

Removed #3 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 you can only really tell the sex of a cockaliel by its tail a male has a plain unmarked tail and female has a striped tail both on the underside at around 5/6 month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 They are all baby's they were unsure about the blue budgie but think the green is a boy. We won't know about the cockatiel's gender until the first molt. We don't know for sure the sex of ZiZi but just think he's is a he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Zizi's tail was like that as well before the first molt, but he has lost the markings now and his face is bright yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
