Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could determine the sex of one of my cacas. I'm hoping/ thinking female but I'm unsure. Any help is appreciated!
So it looks like I was right! I have eggs on the top of one my caves and she is sitting in there guarding them. They aren't fertilized, but my female isn't turning yellow and I've noticed she also has somewhat of a lyrate tail. I'm wondering if this is normal?
Commercial bred female Cacatuoides often show male characteristics as they age. Are you sure the eggs are not fertilized? Ι have had a few females not being yellow ALL the time while guarding the eggs, but they eventually got to that point when the fry reached the free swimming stage.
Yeah I'm sure they were an opaque color and the slowly they all started turning a real pronounced white color like they had fungus. It's her first time too so maybe it'll take her a couple times to get it right.
