OMG, I’m like dying for the DNA result right now... This bird is so confusing to me.
I still think it’s a girl because of its vocal.
All my daughters are routing for Female and I’m praying for a Male
I’ll keep you update once I find out...

Leaning towards a male!

And uh.... you might want to move some things around!!! lol
I got my bird DNA result back.
It’s a MALE!!!!!
Young birds are so confusing to guess. This passed few weeks I went back and forth on Male and Female. I even caught my bird doing a female mating behavior with vent up and humming a tune when I was petting his back. Than out of nowhere he learned to say “ Peekaboo”.
Now He is officially a MALE...

Your bird looks to be light pied, but might be a split. When your bird goes through the first molt, you will have another indicator . If the front of his face turns yellow, he is a split 100% . If his face doesn’t change, he is most likely light pied.
