I have no idea. If Tiki is a female, in 2 yrs....she will look the same. BUT, if Tiki is a male, in 2 yrs....he will have a black ring around his neck.

I'm thinking about DNAing.....I can't wait that long to see what sex Tiki is.

Plus, Kahuna (IRN) is a female....she just turn 2 yrs old on May 1, 2008.

Male IRN's don't develop their ringed-neck until 8 months - 2 years of age, and sometimes longer.

Very afraid of everything! Tiki just got a bath with everyone else in Feather-In and they are chilling by the pool day.....their Daddy made them a very secure cove where they are totally covered, including overhead. Oh, and they also have a fan on them. Spoiled, don't you think??

It will take Tiki a few days to just chill out. It seems that Tiki doesn't understand how to perch...so, I'll be working on that. Tiki does have a appetite though.....he/she can eat the house down.

I'll take more pictures of Tiki and my other guys/girls too...I don't want them to feel left out.

Very cute, yes more pics are needed. I think Tiki is a boy but only a guess. If Tiki can pose nicely on a perch we can all have a guess before dna.

I hope that Tiki is a female though. I really do. I don't need babies..or both of their hormones driving ME nuts!

I'll get some pictures of Tiki sitting on his perch.
