Why do people say boy parakeets are better pets?

I feel like my parakeet is a girl, but I dont know cause she is young. Any way, I keep hearing and reading that girls dont make good pets. That kinda scares me, any words of encouragement

well girls tend to bite a lot and are harder to have bond with you. they usually talk, or chirp a lot more and cause more commotion. it is more easy to lose their trust than those of a male parakeet.

Girls are a little more agressive with other parakeets. Besides that, there's really no difference. Don't worry about his/her gender.

ummm.....maybe your is a boy....is that encouraging enough
I think it's because they're a bit more calmer than the females.
Because they don't lay eggs or are prone to egg laying problems, but the females do talk better in my own experience.

Either way, Keeping them single is the best policy and without mirrors, or happy huts or nest boxes. Spend a lot of time with them as you can.

Good Luck!
Well people say that because females tend to be more aggressive than males.Also males tend to be the more vocal ones,males become bonded to you very easily .Females have mostly a monotonus pitch(only one kind of chirp) and males can make numerous numbers of noises.Either way you shouldnt be scared there is nothing to be scared of just provide her with a cuttlebone and she will not become egg bound.
Budgerigar males are amorous birds and it is the female who usually decides when she's had enough and sends the male away.

As pets, males are often the ones most likely to learn how to talk, although I have seen extremely good female speakers too.

If you've got a female, you really have nothing to worry about. If you already love her then it does not matter what gender she is or how many words or sounds she can mimic years down the road.

Because females are more confident, they tend to have less problems in new environments. A friend of mine takes his pet budgies to his work place sometimes because he works with children.

His female parakeet is definitely the favourite because she acts like she owns the place. She knows exactly where to fly to get the toys and she'll even fly to the table and try to snatch away things that (catch her eye) from the children.

Your bird will not turn into a monster overnight. That bird you have with you now, will always behave that way (even if it turns out to be a female, it's always been a female). Get what I mean?
females are more aggresive.
Don't listen to anyone who says that! The girl parakeets are just as good as the males. From what I've seen from the male parakeets, however, is that they tend to be more hyper and energetic. They enjoy playing more. However, they are possessive; so keeping a bunch of male parakeets in a cage with one female is not a good idea. They also would attack other birds if they don't like sharing. Another thing people tend to like about the males is that they don't bite hard and are usually easier to teach how to speak.

The females on the other hand, have a hard bite. They like to play as well, but sometimes they get a bit too aggressive and could cause you to bleed if you get them angry. If they're laying an egg(having a mate or not), they would stay in the corner of the cage and be quite a bore! Female birds love playing with your hands, if tamed, but their hard bite is sometimes a turn off towards many owners. Unfortunately, snatching your hand away from a bird who's just playing could upset them.

Though I prefer the male birds due to them being more active, there's one thing about female parakeets that I like. They love to make noise with just about anything, and would often try to play a game with you. If you observe them closely, you'll notice that they're just as lovable as any male bird!

Just be wary: Female parakeets usually age/look older faster than the males! (particulary after nesting)
