Help Sex this Tokay

Dakman Sep 02, 2003 05:38 PM

This is a pic of a long distance friends beautiful Tokay, I've never seen it in person. He is trying to fiquire its sex. It was a very large pic that I down sized. It is about a 2 year old adult. I believe its a female. Does anybody agree or disagree with this? I see the pores but doesn't look quite like my male and the pic is very high resolution and large. I appreciate any responses. Thanks

Looks like a male to me but the flash is really blinding the pores so you cant tell the depth too well. At 2 yrs old it should be making calls though sometime or another. Only males will make the TOOOKAY call so thats a dead giveaway. The male will make a GE GE GE GE GE TOKAY.....TOkayy...tokay....ey... call or something similar. The female just goes GEEEEEEE GEEEEEEH GEEEEh, kinda like a sqeaking door or something.

Theres a recording here:

and my male recording is available upon request. It sounds nearly identical to the one on the site. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, im still kind of in the air on it and getting some more info and hopefully a smaller pic. that pic you see is about 1/12 the size of the origional which is why you can see those pores so well and a very bright flash washes it out some. to me the pic looks much more like my females than any males ive seen in person. my 6 month olds are easyier to tell to me.
