DavidH Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Shanti's DNA sexing results are in, and here they are: Congo African Grey -- Shanti ---Male Amazingly, in defiance of probability theory, you Grey Forum psychics voted MALE to the tune of 80%. The Forum winners are: Judygram, Char, Luvparrots, She, Sallas, Lyric, Tycos_Mom. Other winners include the Breeder (who said there was "no doubt" he was male), my wife, and one of my daughters (who also risked her psychic reputation on the guess). I also could throw in the vet, who was inclined to agree with the breeder because ("they can tell sometimes, by the shape and size"). So, to celebrate I am offering a $15 donation to the charity of your choice to the first person among the above winners to claim the prize in a reply to this message. As a bonus, I will raise it to $20 if you pick a bird charity. If you want the donation done in your real name with confirmation from the charity, send me a private message. Thanks for participating. This was fun!
Luvparrots Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Thanks David!!! Please pick a charity of your choice. I don't need credit you are the one making the donation.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/02/06 22:26
danmcq Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Congratulaions David on getting the results. Your prize is a GreYt one that will do good. :-)
judygram Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Congrats David on having a son:blush: I knew it was a male, I am always right, just ask anyone here:laugh:
Lyric Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Yea! I like it when my psychic powers are correct! Karma to you David for the fun contest and wonderful prize.
Char Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Well I am 2 for 2 now. My bird and yours! Maybe I really am psychic.:woohoo:
DavidH Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Congratulations to LuvParrots and to everyone joining in the fun. I have raised two daughters and was raised by a single mom, a grandmother and an older sister -- so having a male in the family will be different. On a serious note, I'm glad I got him sexed. I had no preference on male or female, but knowing one way or the other opens up his mysterious world just a little more -- gives you a little more insight into his or her being.
judygram Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Plus you never have to worry about HIM laying eggs!
Luvparrots Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Guessing Shanti's gender was great fun David, thanks for starting this thread. I would say it was woman's intuition but my father use to know what sex a baby would be just by looking at the mother, he was never wrong.
DavidH Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 >>You have to give Shanti a male name.>> We are keeping the name Shanti, thank you very much Shanti is one of those names that both boys and girls have. We wanted to name him in honor of peace and had thought previously of Shalom, Salaam and Paz (which is a girl's name in Spanish).
judygram Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I like the name Shanti, it is not a gender specific name so I am glad he is getting to keep it.
casper Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Congratulations David on the results! Yes Judy! I was wrong again!:laugh: I must be the worst person on here for guessing the sex of a grey!:laugh: I love the name Shanti and think it suits both Male or Female:)
