Why is it feminine?
Orejas is feminine because it descends from Latin "auricula" (the diminutive of "auris," meaning ear), which carried the feminine gender of Latin diminutives ending in "-cula"; this gender was preserved as the word evolved through Spanish phonetic changes. While Spanish grammatical gender often lacks a logical explanation, feminine diminutives in "-cula" regularly became feminine nouns in Romance languages, so "oreja" simply inherited this pattern.
