So do we think Salty is male or female? I should get results by 8/17 , two days after his birthday. Winners get the web address to a secret Salty video, possibly X rated, possibly not P.C. , certain to be entertaining.

Your guess is.........

Just based on the amazing disposition, responsiveness to education, and general charm...

[Apologies to roosters everywhere, except for the two I live with]

I'm betting on "Saltine"!

Salty is so smart and beautiful, has to be a girl. Loved the videos, plus think has wider stance than make would??? Do you have a picture if Salty just standing??!

I think Salty is a boy myself. He has a more streamline build from everything I've seen, which is more indicative of male. Female amazons tend to be a bit rounder and heftier overall.

Here is a pretty good pic of Salty showing his stance, for those who think it will help them guess.

Without monitoring behavior any statement on gender would be a WAG,

I think I have all my Fids gender down pat based on behavior. Bingo was the only one I was not sure of and I did the DNA test for him to be sure.

I'm gonna say male, mostly because of a key thing female birdies do that Salty hasn't done (which I'm sure he would've done by now)

Maybe Salty's just not maternal...
I'm going female. Mainly to be argumentative. I reckon he's in the mood to surprise Al...
Although what's Tinker? Maybe Salty brings balance to the household...
