    How do you know it’s a female. I don’t see any dress or skirt on, no lipstick or earrings,no lady’s hat or pearled chain. A female, I know do not need all that stuff, but she is beautiful indeed !

        You didn’t get it!! This particular bird is caged, but ‘Iwa’ is suggesting that she may be posing for a Male parrot who might be hiding out among the leaves of a nearby tree.
