Guys sorry for posting a new thread but I couldnt post in similar threads due to my "newbie" status but I am damn confused.
I have an irn around 2 yrs old.When it was small it used to do the male stance but now when I go to give it some head scratches it does the female stance and make some cooing noises.There is a hint of ring formation.Let me know.

That neck ring you see is normal for hen and juvinlie birds to have. Being two its hard to say if its male or female without a DNA test. The other option is, wait another year and see after the annual moult if a proper adult male type neck ring appears.

I also have a gcc and my irn like twice the gcc.Once I got them out together to see how they interact.my irn tried to bite off the tail feathers of the gcc.gcc went straight for the kill and since then the irn is **** scared of my gcc.Can this imply that the irn is male since females are more aggressive ?

I'm going to agree with Kappa. In time all will be clear. DNA test if you're impatient.
