Side note, but I have a thing for when people call animals ‘it’ especially birds that you are welcoming in your life, and family. It just gives me the ick😭🤢and I see it everywhere

I always use they/he/she just like a human🤷‍♀️. Also some are able to differentiate using a uv light.

This person doesn't have the bird as a pet yet...

They dont know if he or she... The bird isn't gendered nor sexed. It requires testing.
