Assigning a gender to a non-DNA'd bird

Just curious, for those of you who have not had their birds DNA tested for gender and there are no sex-linked traits to tell what it is, do you refer to your bird as a male, a female, or just "it?" I'm seeing a trend here that most "mystery" birds seem to be referred to as males.

If you have not tested your bird, do you plan to in the future? We adopted Moki as a "she" but not proven, and later changed his gender to "he" after some humping and stuff. But honestly we will never know. And to tell you the truth after thinking of him as a boy I don't want to know that he's a girl, even if he is! LOL!
