Also as of yesterday I think I may have noticed for sure he is a "boy" i could have sworn I saw something similar to a dog in a sense (although not pink and yet very tiny) that when he was done retracted into him? I actually thought it was a piece of his waste stuck on him but then it disappeared into him? I could been imagining this but I could of sworn I saw something?

I suggest you put him back in his cage or on his gym everytime he or she does this or it will happen evertime you take him out to play. Just say NO and put him away for awhile each time.

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	If you think you saw a penis sorry but birds dont have them, ( or rather Most birds dont) males and females both have a cloaca which they bring together. if you want to know what it looks like turn him over and fan his feathers back so you can see, also do the same to see his ears they are just behind his head. If you do things like this he will get used to being handled. Heres what wiki has to say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-penis

My name is I'll give you a clue	when they mate the do push their cloacas out but I wouldn't think you could see it, In the past I saw Bubble and Squeak lots of time and I could never see anything.
