Jingo's breeder was female, and prefers Josh over me

I don't think that is the case..I think they go to whoever they like...though Sam's breeder was female..her husband was the primary care giver of the little birds..He would hand feed them. Sam was very bonded to him and he almost did not want to give her up. And Sam is definitely a daddy's girl though she loves me too..

I have all males and 3 of which are fascinated with my husband.

I agree who they pick is probably not related to the breeder. I've been around baby birds that were raised by one person, and a couple loved me over them. I feel like its just who they pick. They may not even like the breeder, or have a bond. They are just the source of food. Amarillo also did not want to go back the lady that raised him when I was holding him and tried to nip at her and get away. Interesting question though.
