You can always call him Sadi, a Turkish boy name.

I like Sadi, or Sadu...

Yes, I agree with the other responses... my Sennie is female, her bottom underside is greenish downy, and she also has the yellow "shoulder pads" on the top of her wings. Her head is also "smaller" in comparison to her brother, whom I've seen and played with.

Okay so here's Alaska and Miley together for comparison.

First link: Alaska to the left and Miley to the right
Second link: Miley to the left and Alaska to the right


As you can see, Alaska's V-shape is way deeper and the underside of her tail is very green, while Miley's is all yellow (except for her cute little chicken thigh fluffies)
Seeing this, one might suspect Miley to be male and Alaska female. This is not the case though. Miley's DNA'd female and has laid eggs once, so she's for sure a lil' girl.
Not so sure about Alaska though, we call her a she but we have no idea, and comparing the shape of their heads Alaska looks way male to me.

So uh yeah. Dunno. :mrgreen: Any thoughts on this?


It's amazing, they remind me so much of my two Sennies, to me Alaska looks like a boy (flatter, sort of squarish head, with wide strong yellow eyes and a slightly bigger upper beak), And Miley has a very feminine rounded head with pale slightly calmer looking eyes and a slightly smaller beak than Alaska.

That's my two cents anyway... :).
