Thanks for reaching out about Tiny and Pony and including photos. With budgiergars, the cere changes color as they are sexually mature. The males being blue, the females being tan or brown. These photos appear as if they are young. If they continue to fight over the feeding station, offer multiple feeding stations. Good luck.
