Because Cooper’s cere is blue, I thought Cooper was a boy for quite some time. But then the commenters at Talk Budgies http://talkbudgies.com/ (a great site for budgie information!) kept saying Cooper was a female. If the cere is a very light blue with white around the nares (nostrils), it means female. Males are darker blue. You can see the difference if you look at Cooper’s cere compared to Ozzie’s and Dewey’s.
Sunny is easy because her cere is brown (but turns light blue when she’s not in season).
Cooper was opening your laptop because she thought you should be blogging about her.
That’s Harry’s laptop. Maybe she wants to write some code.
She is a smart bird.
What is Cooper on in the first picture?
And oh yeah, she’s SILLY 😀
That’s a chair. She loves looking under it. Maybe she thinks that’s where we keep the millet.
Does cooper go crazy when she has a feather on her nose? Miss Kauai goes nuts. I usually have to pull it off and she is so relieved.
No – it doesn’t seem to faze her. If she doesn’t rub the feather off, I just pick it off her. They look so cute with feather faces : ).
Carolyn, Allen’s the same way with the fluff on his nose. He flies around like a maniac until I pull it off 😛
How do you know the budgies gender?
PD: Cooper has blue nose but its a girl…
