no, it does not refer to its sex.
there are numbers and letters on it.
the numbers often reflect the year (ex. 02-2002)& baby number(ex. 001-baby number 1 for the breeder) and the letters are for the breeder and or state.
the breeder can choose from a variety of colors for the band. I recently had someone come in my store and say they knew they had a boy, because his band was blue.

then there are open bands...for when bird were imported.....but we dont see as many of them anymore. the number and letters reflect the importation number and letter for the quarenteening station.
