He’s my original male, Ernie. He just chases the other male a lot. Poor Bert 😅 not sure what the two new ones are yet. But behave like males to me

Pretty sure this one is female. Ernie would NEVER let another male that close to his house haha.

Ernie is on the right. My mature male.

The brown line along the centre would indicate females. Usually they appear more when interested in breeding. Males are easy to spot in breeding mode with the silver chin.

I know these are the 'normal' coloured ones, but you get the idea.
