Sexing by the eye color is not 100% accurate. Get a DNA test
done !!
I was sold a "PROVEN" pair of Mexican RedHead Amazons....
the male almost killed the female. ( broke her wing & beak)
After contacting the girl that sold them to me, she then
admitted that they were NOT proven. After tracing their leg
bands, I discoverd that he was a pet & she was a breeder,
that had been passed from home to home, sold as a "proven
pair". I separated them, & sold them to 2 DIFFERENT homes.
He is now the PET he deserves to be, & she was sold as a
breeder. (only after she was completey healed)
Good luck with your Goffins.
