Simply gorgeous!
Im going to say normal grey MALE, is he molting as you can see the yellow on his face is starting to show through, a girls would be much duller and less patchy.
Im pretty sure he will end up being a boy when he is done molting.

Well a name that could be used for both boy or girl would be best but thats me who has a female called Tobi hehe.
I love tiels dont you especially my Noo Noo who is back to his cuddly self. He even shared a biscuit with me at the weekend and proceeded to feed it back to me into my mouth literally.
I'll do a photoshoot at the weekend!

Yeah I didn't eat the soggy biscuit by the way hehe. He has a habit of following us whenever we go out the lounge he loves to go upstairs and then gets scared when he gets there - silly thing.
I think normal grey males are snappy things, my Charlie is the same, he got better when I had him clipped but he is fully flighted again and although he doesnt bite as much he still hisses at me with his beak wide open at any opportunity he gets grrrrrr.
Those bites hurt dont they Sal ouch!

yes they do hurt lots!! harry hisses a lot but we've worked out its just noise, if he hisses at us we're ok cos he wont bite, its if he doesnt give a hiss that he strikes lol little monkey catches us out every time! then he has a very smug look on his face for the next 5 mins while im hunting for the plasters #evil#
he is a big woose really though, he is scared of EVERYTHING which is why i wasnt sure if he would accept another, he is such a coward that he was even scared of the baby kaks and that was before they feathered up and could fly lol
now ive said that he hasnt bitten me for a week he will probably make up for it tonight when he is out lol im surprised i havent got bitten by "newby" yet, i was waiting for it when i was trying to put them back so i could go to bed but it didnt happen, im guessing that "newby" will have a sharper nip cos his beak is so much smaller lol

Cute name Jules, are you sure you dont want to save that for your next budgie hehe.
If he turns out to be a she Sal it wont be half as bitey, Barnslee isnt. Its the opposite in tiels to budgies. I mean female budgies are plain nasty - well mine are but the males are placid.
But am sorry to say I think she is a he hehe. Buy a new pair of gloves.
