Question

gender
whats the gender of this budge in the pic and how old it seems to be .
what are the symtoms of a most breeding female budgie

Answer
It looks to me like a male, a little less than a year old.  Females when they get ready to breed tend to get a little aggressive.  It's usually easier to tell by watching the male.  They will bob their head up and down and walk back and forth on the perch when they are trying to attract a mate.
