In other, strange parrot news, I forgot to mention that last time my Sennie was into see our avian vet, I had "him" sexed. Everyone has always thought Carnegie was a male - even the avian vet. Nope, turns out, Carnegie is a she! This is only shocking probably to those of you who have birds and find out LONG after adopting them (7 years) that they are another sex altogether. We didn't change her name.

I only know the sex of one of my birds (my African grey). The other two (blue and gold macaw, lovebird) are unknowns. I call them males, but who knows!
Oh, and my macaw is in nesting mode too. Tis the season (a little late though...)!
Titus is gorgeous!
That's why I have a female Max :) Are you going to switch pronouns with Carnegie? It took us a while to switch with Max, and she'll still throw out a "good boy!" occasionally even though we haven't said that to her since January 2006.
My gender guess has been wrong on every single one of our parrots :)
Shhh...don't let Titus hear you...he'll get a big(ger) head.
We have switched pronouns (mostly). It's hard to remember. We always joked the Carnegie might be female because she has such a crush on my husband. We just didn't realize we were right. We're leaving her name the same, and she has never been one to say "good boy" or anything.
I know this seems like a strange request but I couldn't find any contact info for you so I am commenting instead. My husband and I had to put our beloved 5 year old Shih tzu to sleep on the 12th and things happened somewhat bizarrely and although I know it would be close to impossible to diagnose etc...without an exam, I have all of the lab results and history to share. We have so many unanswered questions and as a long time (but haven't been here for a while) but quiet reader, I was wondering if I could run it by you and see what you think. If not, I understand. We are just reeling from the loss and like I said, have so many unanswered questions. Love your blog! Thank you. -Christian (if you are up for hearing my story, please email me at ckbruce(at)rocketmail(dot)com.
That's what happened with my Charli. I got her as a baby and the breeder swore up and down she was a he. A few years later I decided to have a DNA test done, just for the record.
Of course, she knew all along she was a girl bird. ;-)
