SEXING A PEARL COCKATIEL!

[camelotshadow]

Don;t go by tails...Looks like hes losing his pearls...So very much leaning toward male. They all can exhibit mixed bahavior sometimes females can be vocal too. Thats an indication not proof...

Losing pearls is a male trait. Plus to me I did get males vibes on my tiel radar...

The mating chirps is ain indication of female, but the pearl loss is indication of male. COnfusing for sure ! But I will still think it's a male You will know for sure in 3-5 months if more pearls fade !
