I can still remember the day when DD's kitten changed names from Jasmine to Cody.....so I empathise!

Tomorrow we're going to get our long awaited cockatiel and although the breeders tell you they can tell a male from a female bird.....we will see.

Most literature says it takes around 6 months to be absolutely sure if a bird is male or female, and this brood is only about 4 weeks old.....so it will be interesting to see if their 50/50 guess is correct or not.
