Many people get confused on the differences between a budgies sex, and its personality. Very often one has little if anything to do with the other so it is important to understand this fact.
If the sex of the bird was the most important factor in deciding how a budgie will be, we would not spend so much time getting to know each baby as an individual. We could easily just pair up babies with their owners based on sex alone (and this would be much easier to do let me tell you) and that would be that. |
It is also important to take into consideration the personality difference between english and wild type budgies. From hundreds of years of selective breeding for show, english budgies have different and more laid back personalities than the ones you will find in the wild and most often in pet stores. Even the most outgoing english budgie is generally more laid back than most of the laid back in a wild type I have raised.

Please do not think that we are trying to sway you in one direction or another, if you have decided you like one sex over another purely for preference that of course is perfectly fine! But we would like you to know that if these reasons are based on tameness, talking ability or pet potential you are very likely to be disappointed if you choose the sex of your baby above its personality, as both sexes are equal in these regards and each budgie is an individual and needs to be evaluated as such.
