::Maybe boombo has a good explanation for this? [[User:＃rubber mark＃|#Rubber mark#]] ([[User talk:＃rubber mark＃|talk]]) 18:55, 14 August 2019 (CEST)

:::I updated the article for now since it's a stub, but if there's a reason the bird should be female according to boombo, I can just substitute all mentions of he/him with she/her etc. --[[File:Steo_sig.png|60px|link=User:Steo]] 19:38, 14 August 2019 (CEST)

::::Oh, this an old topic.

::::I've talked about it with Hunch and Harpic on the French wiki a long time ago. And maybe on the forum, I don't remember.

::::Anyway, we said that the Mocking Bird should be a female because she has long eyelashes and a high-pitched voice, but most important, because she lays eggs. Same for Boss Bird (in ''Fiesta Run''), since we're talking about female birds.

::::About Carnivora, we said that this boss should be a female too, because of her name (sounds like a female one), her voice (in her true form) and her species (it's a flower).

::::What about "the Four Kings", you may ask? Yeah, if there are female among them, the game should have called them "the Four Kings and Queens", or "the Four Rulers", or whatever.

::::My guess is that the game uses the usual rule in French grammar: when you speak about a group with men and women inside, you always use masculine terms.

::::Kinda debatable, I concede.--[[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 20:46, 14 August 2019 (CEST)

:::::Thanks for your input boombo, I suppose the bird having eyelashes, guarding the nest, and laying eggs does make it sound female.

:::::I was just assuming that "Kings" would mean they were male, but plenty of those signs do point to it being female.

:::::I'll change the article so the gender is female. That way, it matches the French article, and I'll make sure to update the appearance section later too. --[[File:Steo_sig.png|60px|link=User:Steo]] 20:55, 14 August 2019 (CEST)
