Male or Female YN?

[tracie]

Hi All!

The DNA results are in and in the clutch I am getting my baby from we have two males and one female. I get to pick which one I want, and I was wondering if anyone could give any suggestions on what I need to consider when choosing between male and female? It doesnt' matter to me, I won't be breeding, the bird will be a pet and member of the family, but I didn't know if there was something else I should consider. If it all comes out about the same, I am going to see which one I like a little more. They are all so sweet, that I just dont' think I can go wrong. He/She will be ready to come home mid-late May and I am just beside myself! I appreciate any advice, in case I am overlooking something or there is just something I am not aware of! Thank you all for your help on this amazing journey!

I'm not an expert but from what I've read, males can be more hormonal and nippy than females and the hormonal stages can last for longer periods of time.

Thank you. I think I am going to go tomorrow and just play with them for a little bit and let it happen naturally. I really don't have a preference, I just can't wait to bring him/her home. Thank you for your advice!

If you have the chance to play and "bond" with babies, I would let the baby pick me. See which one responds the most times to you, not always the first to respond.

I always like males so you dont have any "egg" issues.
