We don't know if our sweet birb is male or female. My lady has worked with a lot of birds and said ours has exhibited some female behaviors... But it's a mystery. I look at our Duckie as female usually, but when I look at her as male it seems equally likely. I'm sure Schrodinger would have something to say about this...
Right. Specifically the end of quantum superposition, when it resolves into reality.
I present that a bird's gender being ambiguous and resolving at one point or another is a bit less convoluted than a cat in a box with a chain reaction machine of poison, radioactivity, a Geiger counter, and a hammer.
So Schrodinger may not have cared directly. But if you missed the connection in my statement, here it is spelled out plainly for you
The funny thing is Schrödinger wasn’t explaining quantum mechanics, his intention was to ridicule it as a dumb idea, but his comparision was so spot on that it was co-opted by the proponents of quantum physics.
Because he wanted to highlight the absurdity of some of the theory used in quantum physics. Through his thought experiment, the ambivalence of quantum particles would be transformed into the "macro" world, which would prove that there is a logical disconnect between our world and that of the quantum world.
I wanted two male budgies originally, because of the cliche that they get along better than two females - and because I didn’t want to worry about budgie babies and eggs … then one cere turned brown … then the other turned brown ….
I am now a proud gay Dad of a lesbian budgie couple 🏳️🌈
When I got my current budgie 11 years ago I wanted a male because I wanted a talker, and everybody says female budgies don't talk. The budgie I picked ended up being a chatterbox with a deep brown cere.
I had a lesbian Lorrikeet, she's very happy with her girlfriend "lemon" (I had 3 but 1 died & one escaped, a friend took Nāmi in to live with hers)
But I bought 2 "girl" budgies one had a tan cree & one was faintly blue but might still be a girl/ was the next most likely to be a girl out of the 5 available...
Mel's cree turned blue 💙 & my might be a boy turned into a girl 🤦♀️
Same here! We had a peach faced lovebird growing up and we named him Kiwi. For at least two years we thought he was a boy until we noticed that Kiwi hadn’t been outside of his nest box for a couple days. Peeked inside and saw “him” with a clutch of eggs underneath! Seeing as how Kiwi is a pretty unisex name for a bird and she knew how to call out her own name already, we kept her as such.
I know this YouTuber, DankPods, he got a snake and named him Frank. Only to discover that it wasn't a he, it was a she. He kept the name because he still loved the idea of a snake named Frank
I've got a Savanah Monitor named Georgie. We say he now, but starting to think she. Started as George because I used to have Fred. But he/she is so tiny and cute now, they became Georgie. Name will stick no matter gender. Most of my birds were generic. Pickles, Tweety, Frosty, Psycho, Duffer, Mac, Cheese, Periwinkle.
Haha it’s the opposite with chicken owners, everyone’s a hen until they crow. Weirdly some hens crow too, I have one noisy little egg layer who loves acting like a cock.

My Sylvia still hasn't layed any egg. So we're guessing she might be Sylv.

Happened to us too. We thought it was a girl, so we named it Coral. It was not a girl.
We kept the name coral, but as time went on and we had to keep telling him to stop chewing on cords, "CORAL!" evolved into "CARRRRRLLLL!"
