He/she is a very "pretty bird"! You probably already know this, but if not its very easy to sex Budgies when they get a little older- the ceres(nostrils) are BLUE for a boy and BROWN for a girl! I also found this extract online

Other Indicators Of Sex
There is a subtle difference in body shape. Cocks tend to be more tapered, and hens less shapely or more blunt ended (to put it in an unflattering way!) Cocks tend to sing more. Hens are the more enthusiastic gnawers -- of anything that will yield to the beak, and may disappear into nest-like places such as your pocket or behind an ornament.
Budgies can be excellent talkers too, my auntie had one when I was a child that had a huge vocabulary, she even taught him to receipt their address in case he ever got free!
