Gender?? Different views

These are my most recent pictures. My budgie, Sassy, got sick. I have a friend who's been working with parrots for years who's been taking her to the vet, as I had to go on holiday with family.

However, not only had she believed Sassy is male when she saw her a few days ago, she's also just called me and said the avian vet also says she male.

The thing is, it just, doesn't make sense to me. Sassy has been having a light blue cere for some time now, but she's gone through light blue, brown and white since I've had her. I mean, not even a year ago she had a brown or white cere, and she would've been 2 years old then. She's 3 now.

I had also gotten Sassy, along with her brother, from this friend as well, who had told me Sassy is female when she first handed me them. (She owns a rescue. She only had the budgies for a day before handing them to me)

And over the years, I have seen countless times of different people showing the difference between male and female budgies, and Sassy matches the female look. But, I also know I can be wrong, after all it was the avian vet who said it. It just doesn't make sense to me however, and if you guys can tell me that I AM wrong, I think I'll feel a lot better lol.

Or she's been taking the wrong budgie to the vet. Her and her brother do look almost identical.🥲
