Male vs Female Budgies

I am thinking of getting a Budgerigar, because they are not noisy, yet like to talk and cuddle. Is there any character or personality difference between a male and a female? Which would make the best pet?
Many thanks.

Hi Marianne,

This is a great question! Budgies are fantastic pets. There aren’t many differences between male and female budgies. From what I’ve seen, it seems that on average males are easier to teach to talk and females can be more moody/hormonal. This, of course, is not the same for all Budgies. 🙂

God bless,
