    I have a 5 month old blue budgie which used to have the most beautiful
    purple nose(I'm not sure what to call the nostils above the beak).
    Recently this area has turned beige and is has a flacky look to it.
    Any suggestions? If there are any readers in this group from the
    Montreal area I would also appreciate if you could point me in the
    direction of a bird vet. I've looked but can't seem to fine one.

    Yeah see I'm curious about this too. One of my "male" budgies is nearly 2 years old now and until 3 weeks ago has always had a very prominently blue cere (which, I believed, was why he bossed his older brother around, as that budgie had a purple cere but
    was definitely male according to tests). Recently, my little fella's cere has started looking pink. It's not looking to go brown like a female's, but it's definitely pink. And out of the two baby females I got 3 weeks ago (4 months old) both had
    prominently brown ceres and now one is starting to look pink also.

    Clueless.

    Hey this is natural your budgie is changing cere ( that's what its called) because it aging up it will most likely be a girl.

    Well, youe budgie may have switched genders. She went from yound male to female ready to breed. Or, she may have been a less mature female that suddenly went to female ready to breed. My gal sandy just did this too.
