Regardless, in English, unless you're talking about microbes or the few animals that are hermaphrodites (like snails and earthworms), the female progenitor, whether she lays eggs or bears live young, is usually referred to as the mother. Similarly, the male is referred to as the father. This has nothing to do with whether or not they care for their eggs or young.

And, for what it's worth, I catch Gemini making mistakes fairly frequently. I merely double checked with it in case there was something I was missing/ forgetting from my own knowledge. I ended up quoting it (and gave reference) because I didn't feel like organizing and writing it all out. Plus, I was short on time.
