Not necessarily, but that is what I had always thought too.
In fact the Red belly that I have, I had thought was a male
but turned out to be a female. She is TOTALLY bonded to me
and I am female. In the past, my female birds would attach
themselves to my husband, but as I have learned, the sex
really doesn't seem to make a difference with these guys. I
think the sex issue would be more pronounced in birds like
Cockatoos.
My Red belly would try to bite the you know what out of my
husband, but she lifts her wings for me so I can kiss them
underneath...) She is like a dog. She will push her head up
under my hand when she wants petting (which is just about all
the time, LOL) is totally comfortable with me turning her
onto her back, will eat every healthy food there is,
(brocolli is her fav) loves being with me (and solicites it,
which is nice)loves playing with all her toys, swinging,
etc...She loves being held close adn has the most
entertaining personality I have ever had the pleasure of
seeing in a parrot. She would be happy to be held all day
but is quite content to play with her toys and occupy herself
in her cage too. She really is a perfect bird, and I am very
lucky to have found her.
