Yes, a parrot in the zoo. Random I know but this particular type of parrot has one offspring at a time and is considered somewhat analogous to humans in that respect (most birds have 2-7 offspring at a time.)Quote:

My husband comes from a large family. We don't know much about his paternal side. We think his biological father came from a family of 3 boys and 3 girls. We don't know about his paternal grandparents.
His biological mother had 3 boys and 2 girls in total. 2 of the five (my husband and his half sister) are both from separate fathers.
My husband's maternal grandmother had 6 boys and 6 girls all mixed, not in that order. I think the first two children are boy then girl though.
My paternal great grandmother had 1 girl and twin boys. My paternal grandmother had 2 boys and 2 girls. My father has me and 2 boys.
I don't know about my maternal great grandmother because my grandmother was adopted, but we're pretty sure she just had 1 boy and 1 girl (my grandmother). My maternal grandmother had 2 girls.
That leaves me and my husband with two boys. In his family, it is unusual to have two children of the same sex in a row though. All of his aunts and uncles have ALWAYS had girl then boy or boy then girl.
However, in my husband's generation, 3 of the males including my husband have all boys. His youngest uncle has 3 boys. His cousin has 3 boys. None of the other cousins or uncles/aunts have that. We have 2 boys. I would like to break that pattern. :D
Interesting family...!
agree that the mum looks a bit scary looking
(and am I the only one to notice the absence of anything green/healthy looking on those plates - if that's what she eats maybe that's why she has mainly girls?)
oh, and I LOVE the Duggars - really enjoy watching their show lol
Yuck.. the mom looks like a freak and her every older daughter has had a teenage pregnancy. How abt teaching to stand up on thieir feet or give them self esteem instead of asking them to use contracentives! Its like she is ok with them having sex at whatever age.
She is like the octomom (with 14 kids) of UK! What is she teaching her kids? Don't have to work, just reproduce and get money from the govt. I get so pi..sed off when I come across non disabled people getting benifits for no reason.
wow 14 kiddies!!!! and 11 of any gender would be hard!! lol i no a mum 1st girl 2nd boy then 4 girls all same daddy
Then also a mummy who had 4 boys and did the switch and followed with 3 girls mmmm how many to have to see if that will happen to me LOL
It's funny isn't it - if we have 4 boys I imagine our opinion will be that we 'just don't make girls' but who's to know if we wouldn't have had half a dozen of them if it weren't for the modern wonders of contraception! 4 is definitely our limit so we'd never know - actually I suspect 3 was our limit but we've got to try!!Quote:
