Budgie

Simply put, the most accurate way to distinguish male and female budgies is to look at the color of the wax film on the nose, different genders , age of male and female tiger skin wax film color is not the same. For example, in adult and estrus female budgies, the nasal wax film is brown, and the wax film is uneven, wrinkled, and sometimes even lifts up a cuticle; The brown color of the budgie fades away, and it is replaced by ginger or white; in adult male budgies that are not in heat, the color of the wax film is blue, or a dull blue, which is very different from the female budgies.

For young budgerigars, the nasal wax film of female birds is basically white, pay special attention to the area around the nostrils, sometimes the surrounding area will be light pink, but if the middle area is white, then It can be determined that it is a female bird; and the male budgerigar chick without this characteristic is.
