Male or Female B&G Macaw

[Connie]

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me the sex of Chico my B&G Macaw?

I have sent the DNA papers away, and should know early next week. I'm hoping for a boy as I already have a girl.

Here is Goldie, my soon to be 1 baby girl.

:ohmy: Connie you have two ? I knew you had Goldie but not Chico ! I have no idea how you can physically sex a B&G,but in general the males tend to big bigger I know my Millie is female & she is not as big as some B&G's i have seen

Wow that was a quick year, it doesnt seem that long ago since you were posting pictures of Goldie at all the different stages. So how old is Chico? I'm going to say he is a boy only because he doesnt look at all like Goldie.

Well that's as good a reason as any if i have ever heard one Siobhan :laugh:

Yes, I just got Chico a week and a half ago. (He) is only 8 months old (Dec 14/07) and yes, the year has gone fairly fast, Goldie is a year on Aug. 10th.

I can't see any difference in the two birds except that Chico's feet are HUGE for his age. I think they are bigger than Goldie's right now. As for the size of the bird, Goldie is smaller than her sister who is a year older, (my friends have her - fourtrap is name on here) she looks big to Chico right now though.

I have NO idea.

When did you get Millie, and why no pics?

Thanks Judy for posting the link for Connie

[Connie]

Wow, don't know how I missed that posting, nice baby!

[judygram]

See what you miss when you stay away for a while, you miss out on some good stuff but glad you got to see her.

[Connie]

It's official, Chico is a female. Another baby girl.

:unsure: I was wrong again! Really I am so bad at this guessing game:P

 

Well Congratulations. I know you were hoping for a boy but at least if you want to refer to the 2 of them you can just say "Girls!":laugh:

[lovemyGreys]

Sorry it wasnt a boy Connie,but im sure you love your girls at the end of the day,sex really isnt too important.

[Connie]

LOL isn't THAT the truth! hehehehe

 

 

Sadly, I have listed her on Kijiji for slae or trade of a DNA'd male. The guy was so sure she was a he, I bought her. I want to trade her now, while she is still a baby and can adapt/ajust to a new home without being traumatized.
