Cobold, I think you're going off in the wrong direction.  This article is about ''the'' Birdo, so no, we're not saying that all Birdos are female, male, or whatever.  Any content about multiple Birdos should be on [[Birdo (species)]].  This article is a little out of date, unfortunately, so maybe that's where the confusion was, I dunno.  ''Super Mario Bros. 2 USA'' did indeed have a single Birdo.  As you all know, the instruction booklet refers to a single Birdo, right?  So, unless there's some obscure thing I missed where they say, "At the end of the first level of each world you will fight ''a'' Birdo," then there's only one Birdo in the game.  The remake further clarifies this, since Birdo is given a voice actress.  When you first meet the green Birdo, she says, "I'm ready for you this time!"  So, in other words there's no reason to use they.  Just, "he," "she," or "it."  Regardless of which pronoun Nintendo of America decided to use, we do still have that official statement from ''Brawl'' that calls Birdo (or her species, it's not clear) "gender indeterminate."  The Webster definition of indeterminant is, "not precisely determined or established; not fixed or known in advance"  So, yes, it probably has a gender, but there's no real way to tell. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 18:27, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

:I doubt you'd fight the same Birdo about 16 times in SMB2. {{User:Toadette 4evur/sig}}
