Hi Jaclyn, JoJo is a very handsome boy! My first bird was a budgie, too. They are great birds!![]()
Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I recently adopted a new baby budgie from PetSmart a week ago!
This handsome boy's name is Jonathan, and he's my very first budgie ever
Anyways, I decided to join TF since there's a lot I don't know about budgies, and I'm looking forward to finding out as much as I can so I can help JoJo live a happy, healthy life.
I look forward to meeting fellow bird mommas!

Hi, and welcome to the community? Did the petshop give you an approximate age of him? Budgies are difficult to sex when they are very young. Since his cere is so light color, you may have a girl. You can have a vet do a DNA test, preferably an Avian vet, or you can order a DNA sexing kit on line if you want to know for sure.
Budgies are so special. I've homed them for years, and love them! They are so fun to have in our lives.
Hi I'm new to owning budgies and TFN like you![]()
Hi, Sunny, and welcome to the community!
Wow! it's incredibly cute and best wishes for your Jonathan.

AWW THATS SUCH A CUTE BABY BIRD!! Yeah sexing a young bird is really hard, especially if it's such a light coloured nose/cere. Once they start to lose there ring head feathers they tend to be about 3 months old (roughly). It can take a good month or two to really lose and grow their adult feather. But then you will be able to judge how old they are.
Good luck.![]()
