Got an email from my friend Davy that contained some useful information that I thought I should include on my blog to help educate us all. Here’s the email in full…
“How can you determine the sex of a bird?
Until now I was never able to determine which was the male and which the female.
I always thought that it had to be determined surgically, while ornitoligsts spoke about the feathers, the size, the beak and other equally idiotic ways that required hours upon hours of observing them in their natural habitat and so on.
Until now…
Of two birds, which is the female?
In the image below you’ll see two birds. Study them carefully.
Have a look and see if you can determine which of the two is the female.
It can be done.
Even by people with limited experience in birdwatching”.
