LOL, sorry I forgot to post the poll!

I know all mine for sure. Birds born in my house were DNA'd, some that were bought from breeders were surgically sexed.

1) Miro- Severe Macaw- Blood DNA'd when we first vet checked him.... Just out of curiosity, more than anything, also since the blood was going to the lab anyway it wasn't too expensive.

2) Ms. 'Clectus- Vos Hybrid Hen- Pretty obvious. She was RED. I suppose that we COULD dna her

3) Marlow- TAG. We were just curious. Feather DNA'd, Avian Biotech... She's a little girl

Two DNA, two because they look like the sex they are. Sophie a girl and Cricket a boy.

Well I haven't DNA'd anyone, but they are mature and able to be visually sexed. Jerry and Winston have BRIGHT blue ceres. Lulu is a normal grey tiel and she looks like a textbook girl - and acts like one, she's such a little sassy brat

Hey Sarah, when did you get a new fid! I must have missed that post.
All my tiels are boys, colouring gives them away. Of my ringies Biscuit is the only deffinate boy after being DNA'd before he came home. I just have a feeling that Ollie, Silk and Pepper are girlies, maybe because Pepper is such a cow most of the time!
