Re: Male/Female
Posted by Connie on 3/08/08

    I can tell you (no offense to anyone) that females can also make
    a catcall. My 3 year old Cockatiel makes catcalls and she was
    DNA'd by Animal Genetics in Tallahassee, Fla... a division of
    Avain Biotech. I have her DNA papers and all. She can catcall
    anytime she wants. Just wanted to have some input here. Have a
    grreat day everyone! Connie
