AboutLeah Expertise I can answer questions relating to feeding, setting up cages, behavior, sexing, and many other subjects. I don't have much experience with breeding, but I can try to help.
Experience I've raised budgies for over ten years, and have hand raised several of them.
I'm an expert on budgies, so I have no idea why you're asking me this, but I happen to know off the top of my head that the female usually exhibits a shorter plume (the curved structure on the top of the head). This is most easily determined in comparison to a male.
There are differences in the plumage between males and females, but this varies depending on the species.
I hope this helps. This is at least what my grandfather told me; he hunts them. He's been hunting quail for twenty years, so I'd take his word.
