This bird has more going on that just split color, he-she is gender duo'd.

Well, okay; I've got my littlebitty tinfoilhat on and guess what---I've got a conspiracy theory. What it is, is the Pot-Stirring(not liberal) News media has produced and published a photoshopped or computer-modified photo of a bird that is supposedly an anomaly. Not just in the color, but in the gender, as well! As Church Lady would say: "Well, isn't that Specialllll!" Church Lady, was obsessed with such stuff. The not-liberal, pot-stirring media has spun the explanation into another story about transgender stuff, knowing how titillated/smug/irate/annoyed/ happy/ other form of emotional agitation (Choose one, depending on what your position is on the subject) it will arouse. They even got into a flight of fancy(ha) about whether the bird is discriminated against, and its' lifestyle! See? Just to stir things up. All it is. Now, I have a Catt. Her fur color is split in a line, right down the middle of her nose. Part of her face is black, part white, and the other side is orange tabby. Also, one hind leg is orange tabby, and there are orange patches here and there, and black and white areas, too. I've been told that this is not too unusual, and most tortie-tabbies are girl cats. It seems like the majority of kittens born, maybe 2/3, are females, anyway. Isn't that nice? Kitty, could not care less, though. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
