I have a horrible track record with selecting the sex of parrots with the exception of the those with clear differences. So, will be interested in seeing what others choose.

Just mailed out the DNA test! Should know by the end of next week!

I could barely get Orbits toe nail to bleed, i hope was enough. Then Pikachu went smooth. Look back st Orbit and blood all over and drops. Dang!! He chewed it and made it bleed way more. All is fine. So I got him back out to add more to the card of course it had already stopped!

We will see! My heart is pretty set on Pikachu being a boy. Wont change my love for Pikachu either way tho

All you voters think Pikachu is a girl? Penny is a DNA girl and Pikachu has been courting her. Orbit is also very interested in her but not Pikachu. So my fingers are crossed they are both boys. Ta-dah and Penny are girls so I just kinda want them to be boys...no reason other I just want them to be.

Lol its hard waiting to find out!!

Fluffy marshmallows have no gender. They’re so cute I want to eat them up! And I don’t even like marshmallows!

So is Orbit’s new name Penny?
That’s to bad I liked Orbit for a name.
There is a pet named Orbit in a favorite book (by Harry Turtledove).

Seeing the photo of Orbit with the toy on her back was too much like what my Mango does for um self stimulation.

That’s great!
I voted girls as their ‘look’ seemed similar to that of Gemma and Sky but not Valentine :D

Penny is my DNA girl before I tested Orbit abd Pikachu. So Orbit new name is up in the air right now...

I used Animals Genetics, they used to be Avitech. Great company. But my mind is so blown on Pikachu, will re test...

yes I can believe Orbit is a girl. But Pikachu does self pleasure just like my male Neptune did....I know I should just accept the results, but I can't lol will retest Pikachu

And, the why I have given-up guess the sex of Parrots! Short of laying eggs, DNA is the best way to go.

Since, the voting is still open, I should vote as that would assure that I have proof of getting it right once! Nope, been wrong far too many times, no reason to cheat, no one would believe me anyway.
