She now has written a book that will cover most of the questions asked when thinking of purchasing a new member of your family.
Just send Dail an email and she will give you the details so you can obtain one of her books.
Alexandrine Gender Determination
As it can take up to four years for male Alexandrines to develop the rings that announce they are a boy, it's hard to tell their sex. You can DNA test, or have your bird examined surgically by a vet.... Or you can just ask Dail.
Dail will not declare a bird male of female without being 99% certain. In the last decade and a half she has only been uncertain twice!
Problem behavior advice
Are you worried about the behavior your bird is exhibiting? Perhaps it has been a tame friend and has now turned on you. Maybe your bird is plucking it's feathers, or wont let you go near the cat! Whatever your situation there is a good chance Dail will be able to identify what is going on and help you resolve the problem.
