I was discreet,  :whistle: And have come to the conclusion she is a girl after lots of scrutinisation,  :whistle: but i decided she was a girl from day one anyway.  :yahoo:

I posted that link onto another site and everyone has been tipping their poor birdies upside down to scrutinise bots,  :butt: One has had her 2 dna tested and the bots confirmed the dna test!  :thumbsup:

Thanks will have a look at Coco and see how she looks  :biggrin:

We brought a breeder grey they thought was a boy and had called it Rodney ... the dna was female so she is now called Marleen and paired up with Boycee  :thumbsup:

Bella is 10 months old and is 6 weeks into her first moult, the first is the worst apparently, she feels like a hedgehog, looks like a bag lady and is demanding constant head scratches, shes also either very cuddly or screaming at me. Shes rather like a teenager!  :nono:
