Are we discussing birds in here without me???? *sniffle* As Petruchio said, parrots don't masturbate per se, but they will "mate" with their toys, perches, hell even your hand if you are seriously unlucky. The bird perched on my head used to try to throw up for me all the time. (That means "I love you" in bird talk.) I don't go in much for interspecies dating so I got him a fuzzy "Birdy Buddy" to go in his cage. I was forgotten within a week and later had to spend a good amount of time hand washing a square of blue fuzzy material. *sigh* I've found the only reliable way to sex a parrot is through DNA. You can send one of their feathers to any of a myriad of companies that will use the DNA to tell you if you've got a boy or a girl. Of course you shouldnt need that if you have a species like a parakeet (where the ceres is a different color for each sex) or an eclectus (where the two sexes are completely different colors). Yeah. I like birds. So what?
