ARE MY GENDER THOUGHTS WRONG?
It seems that after more of my tests, observations & info from books, my birds may have different genders than my thoughts...
(look at their ceres, it's a deep blue. That means male)>>
Just like the subtitle said, after my tests, observations & info from books, Molly & Sasha may be different than what I thought. The best way of telling the sex of a budgie is of course, looking at their cere (nose). Over these days I've been saying that Sasha's a male & Molly's a female. Well today, it looks like I mixed up the colors of ceres. It actually looked most likely to me that Molly & Sasha are both males. I just saw it in a book, "The male's cere is a deep blue," just like Molly's & Sasha's ceres. Their actions also matter a lot for determining the sex of budgies. In the early days, females tend to be more aggresive, bite harder & take more time than males to get used to you. Molly does bite hard (today when I gave her a bath, she bit me hard & I got some skin cuts), but she got used to me right away, unlike Sasha. The book said that there's a rumor that male budgies have better vocalization than females. Both Sasha & Molly sing very well, so there's another chance of being both males. And about Sasha's female side, she didn't get used to me for a long time & still has a bit of 'no trust' for me. Well, it will remain a mystery until we actually go to a vetranarian & give Molly & Sasha blood tests. Maybe it's a new gender, maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Who knows? We'll find out in another article.
