I posted a few pics today, but they must need approval before posting.

Does anyone know how to determine the sex of Laysans??

Females have a rosy color on the sides of their bills, males have an olive green.

Really??? Ok great!! I've researched like crazy and the only thing I could find was a higher pitched call from the Drake. thank you so much on my way home right now to inspect

Not the best pics. I have 5 Laysans now. Just couldn't resist. An aviary near me sells the current years hatch I have them with 2 pairs of woodies, a pair of grey calls and 3 cinnamon teal. The Laysans love the cinns because they now have someone to pick on!! Lol.
