Well those new photos are really sweet - & the jury is still out on my part. I'm going to throw my hat in the ring at a 'boy'.  - only because you said the cere is kind of purple & sometimes pink& to balance out Cheeta's guess [although i am doubtful about contradicting an Aussie on Budgies!!!]. 
Normally when the bars on the head are so prominent you want to see a pinker cere if it is a boy.
Guess you'll have to wait until the molt at 4 months. That's when Rio's cere turned the distinctive blue.  |

I am having some doubts now. From the first pictures I was sure Boo was a he/him. Seeing the new pictures I am not completely sure anymore. But I still think Boo is a male budgie. |

after looking at the last three pics, I'm still sticking to a girl theory.
though the second last pic looks a bit either way... but I'm still not convinced that it's a boy!! LOL.
But hey I could be soooo wrong though!! LOL.
I had a girl who looked just like that, thought that she was a he. so now I'm sticking to a girl until I can see for sure... hahaha
Jacqui, I get it wrong all the time!!! LOL... I'm still trying to figure out one of mine, and I've had 'her' since Christmas!! I thought she's a he, but I don't know still... but I'm sure that she's a she because all the boys been flirting with her, including my male tiel!! LOL Gotta be a she! |

lol, hello again everyone.
I think Boo is a little girl. I don't know why...but I really think Boo is a she. Her eyes now have a light brown ring around them...that will soon turn grey, maybe? And the cere is still kind of the same color...but more white now. She's still a bit scared of hands...but as soon as i get her out of the cage and on my finger she is such a sweetie!! She knows to step up, and is so good at it. The only thing I am wanting her to do is eat something different than seeds! lol. I've tried some celery and peas/carrots/corn but she doesn't even try it. There's some mandarin orange in there right now...and I thikn shes nibbling on it...hopefully she'll like it! haha |

Confused
~ i am as well!
- the last 2 shots were very 'girl', but lots of the others said 'boy'. 
Just keep posting & enjoying - it really doesn't matter which you have - plenty of females are lots of fun & very loving. 
I'd seriously watch out for the dog - my Mom's Border Collie would attack her Tiels in a heart beat - he's so
jealous
of them he wedges himself between me & the cage when i visit, but he's pretty good when they're free-flighted in the sun room - but he's never in there alone. Dogs & Cats are different & some individuals are exceptional. Some are very accepting of 'off limits' but the cat's [& most dog's] nature is to hunt & the Budgie is very tempting.
Sounds like you have a nice home - my friend from the States also has cats & a dog & 3 birds - they all have a routine, which makes bird out time into cat & dog nap time.  Keep reminding us about your updates, |

lol...definately a girl budgie...and a bossy one too!!(Bites soooo hard!)
It's been about 4 months since I've got her.
I've found out tonight she likes a bath(spray bottle) and likes to be dried lightly with the hair dryer..lol. I just turn it on cool and hold it way back and she pretty much falls asleep. Its cute, i'll have to video it one day. |

Great progress. Mine would have a heart attack if I tried the hair drier. I've seen others use it effectively but not me. |
