Re: Need Help Sexing Green Singer
In the picture that you put up of Pinky.
Are you using Perler Beads for banding the bird?
I used to use them, but not any longer.
Most of my birds try to take them off and some have hurt themselves.
Also they are a devil to get off, and the colour fades.
I went and bought a special small type of plyers to get them off.

Here is the video as promised, let me know what you think.
I know it may be a little long, but the most "singing" is towards the end.

Re: Need Help Sexing Green Singer
I watched the video.
I still say it's a hen.
That's not real singing.
By the time it's five months old it should
have a well rounded song.

Re: Need Help Sexing Green Singer
What a beautiful bird. I love the singing - it's very nice. 

God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored.

I agree with Janine, their song brightens our home. It is one of those sounds that make you pause, isten and smile!!!

I read your post in response to this video, stating the gs is a hen. The song sounds like a juvenile male to me. I've never heard hen trill or sing beyond a chirp. What about the song made you think it's a hen and not a cock?

Re: Need Help Sexing Green Singer
I'm gonna guess this is a male.
I haven't watched the video, but just from the necklace, head shape, markings, l'd wager it's a boy.
So I just realized now this is an old topic from March. Did she turn out to be a boy or girl?

Re: Need Help Sexing Green Singer
I have four juvenile GS and two sing and two sort of sing, but the two that sort of sing have the necklace at six months of age. I'm guessing they're hens. The younger ones, who sing well, are probably cocks and are starting to lose the necklace at age 3-4 months.ikhom wrote:I could argue with you, Jerry. Last year I had GS that looked as a female at 5 1/2 months. I was sure it was a female.BigBear0007 wrote:Jerry

Re: Need Help Sexing Green Singer
Being as how I have had no complaints from Liz, I am assuming that she is a little hen
