lol. thanx for the awesome advice:) and i really do think that the white bird is female. its kind of fatter, and has smaller eyes, and doesnt whistle as much if that helps in determining the sex. oh and if i take it to the vet, can he tell me the sex, age , and how to clip toe-nails? if so, how much will the service cost, or will it be free? thanx:)

The vet should be able to tell you the sex, a rough age and definetely how to clip toe-nails. However this will cost you money, I'm unsure as to how much (sorry). I'm afraid we got ours from a specialist breeder who happened to be a friend as well so we got all our information from him.
Alternatively, you could go back to the pet shop to ask them, buy a book telling you about how to look after budgies which will show you in it or find someone close by that keeps budgies as well.
As for clipping the toe-nails, its easy once you've been shown how. I'd also recommend you get sanded coverings for the plastic perches you have in the cage. These help wear their claws down so you have to do it less often. Also, when clipping its toe-nails, keep one of its toys in front of it to preoccupy it, this will make the whole process much easier for both of you.
