Is my Budgie Male or Female?

Budgies as pets
Male budgies usually have a blue cere. Females have either a whitish brown (non- breeding) cere, tan cere, or brown cere.
The cere is the area above the beak of the budgie containing the nostrils.
On the male side there are some exceptions to the rule: Albinos, Lutinos and Recessive Pied cocks, for example, have a fleshy pink colour cere.
