there is a really old myth thats been going on for years in wales, near england UK, that if you make a hole in a 1 pence, wich is copper money in the uk and put a string frim it, then hold the string with the pence on it, or any copper money, above the pigeon's neck, by holing it very still, in a few seconds it will start to move, if the one pence goes round in circles its a hen, but if it swings back and forth its a cock, I don't know if anyones heard of yjis but it seems to work, it takes a bit of time but it will work, it also works if you hold it above your hand.
