Birdo lays eggs and wears pink. Yeah, that could be a sign of some gender confusion I guess.
But he also has a permanent surprised look that reminds one of a blow-up doll.

From Wikipedia:
"In Birdo's biography of the Super Mario Bros. 2 instruction booklet, it reads "He thinks he's a girl and he'd rather be called Birdetta.[5] Contrary to popular belief, this was not the result of a poor translation. In Japan, Catherine (the individual Birdo) was always male, despite his feminine name. Recently on the Mario Strikers Charged website, Birdo is again referred to "he" in his description. [6] His transvestite and effeminate appearance is the reason his gender was changed in overseas version; Nintendo of America simply wanted to avoid any controversies. Many of Birdo's overseas fans still stay true to his male gender, however."
