The male parakeet's cere is blue and the female’s is tan or light yellow. The "cere" is the area located at the base of the beak, just below the forehead or crown area. It is where the two nostril type openings (nares) are also located. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part this coloration is fairly accurate. In young parakeets, under 3 months, it is pale pink to tanish but changes after sexual maturity.

She is a cute bird, do you think she would like Bruce?
Elizabeth loves music and sings when you are in the kitchen. She is very young about 4 months. We love her. She lifts her wings when you talk to her.

Some bad news about Queen Elizabeth.
A quote from a Parakeet web site:

Maybe a name change is in order.
