what the different physical characteristics between a male and female blood parrot?

As with some other species, it's difficult to tell the difference between males and the females unless they are about to spawn. Because there is so many variations in the types of parrots, it's almost impossible to distinguish the sexes by finnage or coloration.

One way to identify the male is when he pairs up and is ready to breed, he will get pinkish coloration on his throat and behind his gill cover. This the best indication of male. In general, males are also larger than females. Identifying the females is almost impossible until her egg tube is showing during pre-spawn.

I think men get more sentimental about everything as they age. They are more likely to give up on life and commit suicide. It's sad that the loss of physical strength and the end of a successful career makes their retirement years difficult for many men. Women seem to get a little tougher each year that passes. By the time they are senior citizens that sweet,naive young woman she once was is only a memory. Maxine is a popular cartoon because there is so much truth revealed.

Here's a few links that might help you. I don;t keep them so I can't speak from personal experience how accurate these sites may be. Each has a few links you can follow and hopefully find more info. Hope these help
