	Can anyone tell me if the mechanism for sexual differentiation in 
avian development is understood.  I know that males are the homogametic 
sex, and that they are the default sex, but is there something analogous 
to the SRY gene in mammals.  I am particularly interested in how sexual 
differentiaition of the avian brain comes about.
	Thanks for any input.
