dblhelix Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I agree, the sex should make no difference as far as your enjoyment of the relationship with the bird. However, you might consider getting the bird DNA sexed at some point as this knowledge can be useful in the event health issues arise. Being able to tell a vet the sex can make a big difference in honing in on issues etc if/when they occur...
ClaireBear Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 I most likely will at a point where they are close to being sexually mature just in case of egg binding and things of that nature
lovemyGreys Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 claire did you pick the one in the picture you first posted ?
ClaireBear Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 Yes actually I did. When I went back a few more times and held all three, I still chose him. He let me hold him and pet his head (probably b/c he was tired but heh )

ClaireBear Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 It's a she, her name is Violet. I got the DNA test back a couple of days ago. She also is "chicken scratching" all the time. I'm assuming thats normal
judygram Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Wow what a difference a week makes, Violet is sure growing and getting prettier all the time. Thanks for sharing the pics with us, can't wait for the next one. Chicken scratching is normal, believe me as Josey still does it from time to time LOL:laugh:

casper Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I have been following this thread and cant believe how much she has grown! She is soooo cute
ClaireBear Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 Well I came home and she was being so cute and trying so hard (under supervision) that I had to take some pics! And does anyone see what I mean about the purplish tint she has?
judygram Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 She is growing and getting so pretty Claire, I don't blame you for taking the pics as it is always good to share and thanks for sharing them with us:P
