How do you determine the sex of a baby Parakeet?

Answer by  Janette (46)

It is impossible to do so with baby parakeets. However, once they reach maturity, normally six months old to a year, it is simple. A male's cere will be blue.

You need to look at the the fleshy skin over the beak also called the cree. Males will be a translucent pink and females a opaque white.

This is very difficult to do. You can attempt to spread the down feathers and examine the animal but the gender differention in baby Parakeets is minor. I suggest waiting until the animal is older.

In short, you can't tell YET. When he matures, after a year or so, he/she "budgies" will turn a different color and you can tell.

Female parakeets are usually more aggressive and territorial in behavior, they tend to make squawking sounds. Males are more outgoing and sing more.
