Birds can`t change their sex after fertilization because egg cell determines which sex hatching chicks are (male and female have dissimilar sex choromosomes).

Male was harder to put back in the cage (even he was able to be free all the time expect for nights) and ...

I know it doesn't exactly apply to your question (I apologize as I am the queen of tangents) but it was so scary to almost loose my little Pidget because of a metal band around his leg. If I'd of known better I would have had it removed a long time ago. I don't know how you all feel about ring band...

What does leg band tell?

In my female ringneck leg band there is a code: TJ2944 NB97.

Only what I can understand is that she has born in 1997. Bird has bought in Finnish pet store and I`m her second owner. Ex-owner doesn`t know about earlier life of bird.

My birds go to the cage by themselves if anyone hadn`t put them there by 10pm at the latest. They wake up at 8-9am.

In fourth night in the new home, Tuittu (the new bird) decided that she wants to sleep in the same cage than other birds but i didn´t dare to put these two birds in the same cage yet. I put Tuittu in the ...
