Boy or Girl?

[Compassion]

I just checked to see if Zeus got the results of his/her dna test at Avianbiotech and the results are pending currently!I thought it might be fun to see what people think Zeus's sex will be.I've got my fingers crossed it's a boy.Anyone care to guess?

 

[J*M*L]

boy!

 

[Babybreau]

I'm going to guess based on how close his feet are when he's perched on your finger - guess I already gave my guess away - BOY!!

 

[Heather]

I'll say girl- only bc no one else has

I don't know, but I'm gonna go with girl, too

 

[Marlene]

If she is "moody" I say girl!

I say boy, Because the stance, and it looks like it's beak it pointier at the ridge. On another forum I am on a user posted a thread saying her vet told her beak shape can factor in on sex. Basically a females top of the beak(like our ridge of the nose) will be rounded at the top, while males will be very pointed. Not really any great shots of the beak, but from what I can see, I say Boy!!


By the way, this theroy has rang true with my DNA's birds, and my breeders entire flock of proven birds.

I too will go and say boy because of the stance but that is no sure thing.

I've noticed the beak thing with my lovies, too. I assumed it was an individual thing, rather than gender! Interesting to know it can indicate gender as well.

Not sure if it works for all birds or just lovies, but based on your siggy I would assume Nim is a boy & Kermit a girl..can't tell with the other lovies beak?

Congrats on your beautiful little BOY!!!

None of my lovies have been DNA'ed (or laid eggs, for that matter), but I'm 99% sure Nin is a male and Leyla is a female, just because of their personalities, stance, head shape, etc. Nin's beak does have a pointy ridge and Leyla's is definitely rounder.

I've been calling Kermit a boy, but there are days I wonder if "he" really is a "she". I eventually want to get him DNA'ed. He regurgitates and flirts with toys/perches, but he also makes female flirty noises and is female-y territorial occasionally. I know lovies can exhibit behaviours of both sexes sometimes, so his actions probably don't accurately indicate his gender! His beak is a bit rounder like Leyla's, too, though, now that you mention it! Now I'm really interested to find out if "he" is male or female.

I was sure Pinja was a girl from the way she was acting, and that Twisted is a boy.. But now their both trying to hump eachother from behind... So now im in big doubts!

I thought that my Lovie Pele was a girl for the longest time because he had that fiesty hen attitude and he would "proposition" me and my male lovie Boo.It was a shocker when I found out she was a he.

 

[Babybreau]

Congrats Angela!!! Ha ha I guessed right! Yay!!

Neither of my lovies have been DNA'd either. However, since their cage was right beside my computer, I carefully watched their behavior. Long before JB laid an egg and became aggressive, she still displayed female behavior. Sherbert was just such a sweetie all the time that he HAD to be a boy...lol
I was right and the breeder was wrong heh heh

I didn't have a clue, but that third picture is really neat!

So am I , lets us know if you ever find out!! I wanna test this theory even more.



Babybreau- My breeder was wrong too about my Baboo. And didn't know what color she was..just called her a limey green. So...thats how I started learning genetics. And since she was an american cinn and neither parent was I knew she was female...she guessed male XD

If you haven't seen pics or read what sex my other lovies are then I can post pics of them for you to take a guess on if you want Baboo's Momma.

P>S I love your SIggy!
