oh come on ... Petmart told me they list whatever sex of the bird the breeders told them. Then I asked did the breeder provide any DNA paperwork, they said no. Petmart just rely on the breeders (beeing experts
) to tell them the sex of the dimorphic bird.

I agree with TessieB, I think Ollie would be a great name change

I have always gone with unisex names too.
People still get confused about their gender. I had a female Ekkie and named her Gryffin on purpose, and people constantly think Robin and Raven are girls :52: I always have to say "this is Robin (or Raven), and he's a BOY.

Yeah, since he's so new, I don't think it will confuse him at all

Mango is unisex I think.
Personally, I've always typically named my boys girly androgynous names, and girls boyish androgynous names I don't know why, I just realized that I do that.
Actually I had trouble back when picking a name for Robin, but my dad thought of it - as in the bird species Robin with an orange breast.
Mango is a very popular bird name. Go for it if you like it

Congrats always nice knowing what sex your bird is.
Ollie and Oliver are suitable names, sounds familiar to Olivia.

I switched my Mango to Mangie because Mango felt boyish to me. Lol. And there is so many Mangos.
