Male and female distinction of thrush

As the saying goes, "if the thrush does not open its mouth, the immortal is difficult to start", this saying means that it is very difficult to identify male and female thrush, and the only way is to wait for the thrush to open its mouth and listen to its call. Otherwise, it is difficult to say that ordinary people, even immortals, are difficult to start (the meaning of judgment).

The editor believes that although this proverb has some truth, the male bird's call is high-pitched and loud, tactful and changeable, and the female bird's call is monotonous and low, this method of listening to its call to distinguish male and female can be used as a reference, and it does not play a decisive role. Because some male birds will also call a few female birds when they speak, you must have good patience when choosing birds, in addition to listening to thrush calls, you can also distinguish thrushes from the following 10 aspects.

The first aspect: look at the nostrils. The nostrils of the male thrush are not blocked and translucent, grow forward, and the shape is longer; The female bird's nostrils are blocked and opaque, grow backward, and have a slightly rounded shape, the female bird has a small nose and the male bird has a large nose.

The fourth aspect: look at the mouth. The color inside the mouth is different between female and male thrushes. The color of the oral surface of thrush is yellowish or yellow, mostly female thrush; The color of the thrush mouth is reddish or red, mostly male thrush. The above manifestations, especially the "nest finch" are the most obvious.

The fifth aspect: look at the larynx. 100% accuracy depends on its singing throat, after just feeding can be put in some noisier places, such as next to the TV, pay careful attention to its throat, see if it has a bulging throat, the throat is constantly bouncing must be male, the mother bird will not bulge the throat, the male is in a drumming shape when it wants to sing. This is not the case in females. This method is also 100% accurate in selecting embroidered chicks.

Aspect 6: Look at the anus. Pay attention to the difference in its anus when stool, generally if there is a protrusion in the cloaca is male, if there is no protrusion and flattened is female.

The seventh aspect: look at the hind paw meat pad, the powerful one is the male, and the opposite is the mother.

The eighth aspect: eye opening and closing. If you catch a bird, if you move the neck of the bird, the bird's eyes will widen the male and the closed one will be the female. This is the same as Professor Xia Yuanyu's masterpiece "The Pigeon Has Gone with the Clouds"; There is "glaring male, blinking mother". The plot matches.

Aspect 9: Look at the toes. The female bird has a small toe and the male bird has a large toe.

Tenth aspect: look at the shape of the mouth. Round for males and flat for females.

Thrush is born aggressive, this is its nature, so many bird breeders in Yunguichuan area raise thrush birds to fight birds, fighting is also an abuse of life, please cherish thrush, moderate bird fighting. Its aggressiveness should not be a tool for making money, nor a bargaining chip to judge wins and losses. If you love to fight, please do it in moderation, and if you don't, don't hurt blindly. We are not against bird fighting, we are only worried about the casualties caused by fights, as well as the snub, abuse, and even malicious arrangements that will be encountered if the fight fails.
