Akshualy those are lesbians, because birds have XX for male and XY for female. 😅

Don't birds have W and Z or something instead of X and Y?

What you call them iis arbitrary. Genetics is a disgustingly unstandardized field when it comes to naming things.

It isn't arbitrary when you're comparing it to another specific chromosome.
