You have to wait about a year, once they are adults then you will be able to tell like the person below said the males have a deep blue above their beak (kinda like their nose) and the females have a dark crusty brown nose, almost like a brownish red. When they are babies their noses will be white. Also budgies will start loosing the lines on their heads when they are adults so yeah. So it all depends on the age of the budgie, so just be patient. :) good luck I had the same issue too when I got my budgie! :D From. echub As adults, male budgies have a blue cere (the part above the beak, where the nostrils are), and females have a tan cere. Immature budgies, however, are different: young males' ceres are a purple-pink colour, and young females' ceres are pale blue with white around the nostrils. Cere colour changes with maturity. (When a hen is in breeding condition, the cere further darkens to dark brown, sometimes appearing "crusty".) Exceptions to the above rule are albino, lutino, and "creamino" (pale yellow/cream) budgies, whose ceres often remain the same throughout life.
