Cockatiels[edit]

I think cockatiel should be on the list. I have a pair of female cockatiels (Sunny and Dexie; to prove that they're female - they've both laid eggs) that have bonded and never had a male mate before. I wonder why it's not on the list? (Sorry, it's just my opinion... I was just wondering why they aren't on the list!) --HoopoeBaijiKite 07:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I've seen my friend's cockatiels, also both female, performing mating rituals. Sadly, one is now passed away :( Sea Captain Cormac 02:15, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

"Transgender behavior"?[edit]

What does that mean? It's not mentioned in the article other than that first line. --AW (talk) 21:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah idk how we could really tell if an animal is transgender without being able to talk to them — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:B613:C800:D0FA:AC93:D208:13B1 (talk) 16:38, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

American kestrels[edit]

Looks like American kestrels have with same sex pairs now been observed. I'm not sure how to add it to the page, since everything is so organized. Link to the site. Detective Osprey 05:57, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
