Well it has been a bit of a wait, but i think i may have an educated guess as to what sex my bird Hemi is - a boy!
lately (last few weeks) Hemi has been doing a strange 'dance' towards his favorite bell. he pins his eyes, makes quiet calling sounds and appears to dry reach or vomit during the dance. not sure if this is normal, but i think i've read other posts about it before. either way he appears to be healthy both physically and in his behaviour, so i'm not concerned.
and Hemi has now started to moult too

oh what fun to clean up feathers... this must mean he was about 8 months old when we got him, instead of the 8 weeks we were told by the pet store we bought him from
he only has a couple of blue tinged feathers in his chin area, but at the back of his head the green has become a little darker. it looks to be the start of a ring
did/does anyone else have a similar situation in regards to the vomiting boy dance? it doesn't worry me seeing as he's a healthy bird, but it would be nice to hear more information.
the moulting, dancing and feather changes all point to Hemi being a boy, but i guess only time will tell for sure

thanks to all of you who took a random guess
