Males usually have brighter colors and females are usually dull. This is how I tell w/ most birds. I really don't know much about them and I don't have any myself, I hope this helps.

Could you post a pic? Sounds like a male, but a pic would help. How long have you had him? I've heard it's better to mist you bird with a spray bottle than to leave a dish of water. You also need a cuddle bone, it provides the necessary calcium budgies need.

P.S. My budgie is yellow and green too. His cere use to look kind of purple, now it's blue.
