Take a look. The head is small, with no hindbrain, and the narrow near the beak is the female. The head is large, with the hind head, and the near beak is wide for the male.
Two look at the eyes. The eyes are on the top of the mouth, and the two eyes are closer to the corners of the mouth is the male bird. The eyes are small and dazed, the eyes and mouth are in a straight line, and the two eyes are farther away from the corners of the mouth is the female bird.
Three eyebrows. The eyebrows are white, wide and long or narrow and long, but the eyebrows are clear and beautiful, the two eyebrow lines extend all the way to the back of the head, the eyebrows are thick, and the male bird is connected at the back of the head. This is one of the main signs of distinguishing males and females. The eyebrows are thick and short, the eyebrow color is not distinct, some eyebrows have a gap in the middle, and the female bird is not connected at the back of the head.
Look at the legs four. The male has thick and long legs. Male birds hatching on grassy beaches, some of which have red legs, are more beautiful. There is a saying: "The eyebrows of the thrush, the legs of the lark." "Meaning eyebrows and legs are one of the main hallmarks that distinguish between male and female thrushes and larks. The legs are short and not thick, and the female is the female. When looking at the legs, pay attention to whether the claws, feet, and legs are broken or injured, whether the feet are in the inner figure of eight or the toes are uneven.
Five looks at the mouth. The beak is long and thick, and the pecking force is the male bird. Some are more precious if they are hooked or jade beaks (which, like jade, are translucent) are more precious. The beak is short and thin, and the female is weak in pecking
Six look at the wings. There are 6-12 white feathers in each wing, and these feathers are white and shiny males. The more white feathers the better. There are less than 6 white feathers in the feathers of each wing, and the dull one is the female.
Seven look at the black collar. Under the lark's foreeck there is a black feather in a semicircle called a "black collar". The black collar is long and dull, short and narrow for the female. Looking at the black collar to identify male and female is also one of the main signs of discrimination.
Eight look at the mouth. When the chicks are hungry, they open their mouths while barking, and the color of their mouths and the size of their throats can be observed. The mouth is red and the throat is large for male birds. The mouth is red and yellow, and the throat is small for the female.
Nine watched the chick's head shrink and stand up; holding the chick in his hand, pushing the chick's head with his thumb, and the head shrank back and the body retreated into the hand. The head is forward or always straight, and the body does not shrink back is the male bird.
Ten look at the position of the chicks in the nest. The male is afraid of cold and heat during the chick period, and in the dark night, the male burrows at the bottom of the nest to borrow the female chick's body to warm himself; at noon, the nest bottom is sweltering, and the male comes to the top to ventilate. Males are lively and active, and according to this law, males and females can be identified when picking up small larks. One touch and two listening is:
A touch. When picking up the little lark, hold the chick in your hand and feel the difference. The males have stiff bones and the females are soft. Touching the top of the head with the index finger from front to back is also different, with the male having a high ridge raised from front to back in the center of the head, and the female flattening.
It can chirp alone, but the male bird calls brightly and well, and the female bird calls low and unpleasant, and it can be distinguished from the call that it is a female bird or a male bird. Two listen to the little lark "pull the lock". From the end of the chick period to the end of the moulting period, the male's little lark began to pull the lock, when the lock was not opened, the throat made a whimper, you can see the back of the lower part, the upper throat of the black collar flashed, also known as "practicing the throat". The voice is high and low, although it is still impossible to hear what to sing, but you can clearly hear the snoring sound, which is the unique name of the male bird. Females also sometimes pull locks and can only make a monotonous straight tone, similar to the call of a small sparrow.
The above methods can be used when selecting males.
However, the impression obtained by "ten looks, one model, two hearings" should be comprehensively analyzed, neither can we look at one item in isolation, nor can we seek perfection, as long as the main characteristics are consistent, we can conclude that the male and female. If there are 9 white feathers in the flight feathers of the chicks, the two eyebrows are connected behind the head, the legs are very strong, that is, slightly shorter, it can also be a male bird. It is impossible to fully conform to the above characteristics. After the male bird is selected, the male is also selected.
It's not as difficult to choose a male. In addition to the general characteristics of male larks, its male characteristics are more obvious and prominent, that is, the best of the males.
The criteria for selecting the best males are: a large mouth long, pecking strong, eyes large and energetic, head large and flat top, eyebrows wide and long, two eyebrows connected to the back of the head, the coat color is shiny, the coat pattern is large and obvious, the body is fat, the body shape is spindle-shaped, the legs are thick and tall, the tail feathers are not scattered, the wings are upright (pay attention to whether the wings are injured or broken, whether the wings are generally high left and right, otherwise there will be injuries), the flying feathers of the wings have 6 to 13 white feathers, and the bold and honest are excellent. But sometimes the eyes, head, eyebrows, wings, body, looks and other major parts are very good, that is, the legs are slightly shorter or the mouth is not ideal, and other problems can be no obvious. All aspects are very good, perfect is indeed rare, such as iron mouth, iron claws, iron legs are not as good as jade mouth, red legs, flat top. Of course, it is not as good as the mutated white lark, crested lark, hook-billed lark, and solitary lark. These larks are relatively few, and if there is a strong male characteristic, it is even more icing on the cake.
