On December of 2017, I just lost all my doves due to a Cooper's hawk. To combat this, we applied mesh grids on all surfaces of the cage and attached them with barbs and hooks. I'm pretty unsure if this is going to be an effective deterrent towards predators of a certain species. Tell me from...

I recently purchased a young Golden Pheasant, and I'm hoping and praying that its a male. I love the colors and either way I'm happy with my little bird but I'm just curious as to what sex you guys think it will be?
