My budgie is a little over a year old and has indentations under his nares. Is this normal?

Thanks for reaching out about Snake and including a photo. The thickened brown cere is typical of female's that are hormonal (hyperestrogenemia). This is usually a normal situation and recedes one hormone levels decrease, but is often cyclic. Good luck.
