It depends if he/she is young. Since budgies when young naturally a pink cere. I changes colors as they grow. If not , and the cere is DARK blue then its a male, or but if he/she is still really young then you need to wait a little while till it changes.
I usually go with its personality, gender, and looks. A very fiesty one i would call Pepper. But if he/she is gray-ish green, i’d call it olive! :3
I am sorry for your loss. I can’t help you more than your Vet. Listen to your Vet and good luck.
I am so sorry for your lost Budgie 😥 You should get another Budgie for your Female. They are social and flock Birds. Good luck
Make sure to provide enough space for two budgies. Female Budgies are more territorial and they need space even when they have a partner. If they are fighting all the time it may not be a well-bonded pair, and you should separate them.
Thank you very much for a great idea! I will definitely put it on my to-do list.
