I agree. Pelvic sexing is unreliable, although I had been "right" about all my previous birds except for Mika and Kano. Both of my birds are boys and they both have gaps between their bones where I can stick a little of my pinky between.

One of the problems with pelvic sexing is that bones can stay close together on a female until she's ready to lay eggs and then they'll spread.

DNA sexing, a bird laying an egg, or sex-linked mutations are the only way to definitely tell sex.
