Generally, yes. Males are thought to be more calm and tolerant and females are more territorial and courageous. That doesn't mean the hens are horrible though, just bring extra patience. And band-aids.
Peanut is somewhere in between Starburst and Anica. Very sweet and cuddly while simultaneously very stubborn and bold.
In short, I would say she's fairly tolerant of me handling her and fairly intolerant of me handling her stuff.
In detail, she trusts me to do pretty much anything with her; scoop her up, hold her on her back in my hand, poking and prodding, and the worst I'll get out of it are some "objection" noises and non-threatening warning beaking or a light nip. She'll even fall asleep on her back while cuddling. She loves to nap with me (in the recliner where I can't roll or crush her,) hide in my shirt at bedtime, and generally be doted on.
But touching the things she's decided are hers is a different matter and it's all about me knowing when to back off. I can block them with my hand to keep her from throwing them on the floor, toss them back to her if she has thrown it, sometimes even hold them for her, or have my hands near them while I scritch her. As soon as I look like I'm trying to "claim" the object though she goes into territorial mode. She will warn me with her body language when I've crossed the line, sometimes a nip, and if I fail to get the message, bite. She never bites for no reason though and I'm rarely bitten these days.
Nips are fairly common but most don't even sting, just beak pressure, a touch, the bird equivalent of saying "hey, stop that."
And this is a year-round thing. She provokes more quickly when hormonal but that's about it.
It makes me sad. They need good homes and lots of love too!
