How can you tell a male from a female? no big deal either way.. just want to name it

 

[BigRednRock]

?

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

The only way I would be able to tell is, if it was mounting a female, or sitting on eggs during mid-day. Other than that.......???
Name it a neutral name that's good for a boy or girl, like.... Byrd, Comet, Blue, Spirit, etc. Good luck. I know you'll come up with a good name.

does it coo? cooing is what males do.... I was at petsmart in Jax and they have a pair- I got the male to coo back to me 5 of 6 times

 

[BigRednRock]

HE started cooing this morning. still can't think of a name...

I also think the males have a bigger orange ring around the eye, which yours definitely has. Also, look for slightly bigger feet.

he's making plenty of noise. i am waiting on the store to get another one in. i want him to have a friend. how do i introduce them with out drama?

 

[onthespot]

they get along, just toss her in there.

 

[BigRednRock]

His name is Cash. He is now cooing when i sing. my coputer is next to his stand and i always play music... and he started singing along today

Males have a thicker bumpier circle around the eye.This one looks like a male.Also looks like a white tailed,and maybe red factor.
