Hey everyone, sorry about my long absence, wonderful time in hospital having ankle reconstructed again. Then weeks of paperwork to catch up on...who said you can rest when you retire, it's all lies I tell you!
Well my topic heading was a catchy one eh? When the initial check of the Six in one go post was done, it was thought that they were all females and from my very scant knowledge I certainly agreed with that. Now I either have a huge "Gay" issue in one cage or the one in particular is not a girl, but a boy. I do not want anymore surprises, so there is a separation for now.
All the body language indicates that Gongci has turned male on us. She/he has or is displaying all the courting moves that we observed when we had only four birds.
Here are some images and there seems to be some blue colouring now appearing around the vent. Both the other males are very similar in not being a strong blue but actually very patchy.
NO, I do not have a death, vice like grip on her/him haha. It is a hold the vet showed me and saves a lot of squirming and biting. This is normal daylight through the window, no flash but it is a four lens camera with macro included in the setup.
Hope you can shed some light as I now have more cages than I want in the house.
