Sexing Birds

Friday, May 27, 2005 by Tarkus | Discussion: Community

Until now I never fully understood how to tell the difference between male and female birds. I always thought it had to be determined surgically... until now.

Below are two birds. Study them closely..... See if you can spot which of the two is the female.. It can be done. Even by one with limited bird watching skills.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what others think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you...We are in charge of our attitudes.

While the comment in another thread was uncalled for..
I dont think the discussion, should be carried over to more threads..

the one to the right is Jafo - am i right?


if the choice is strictly male/female...

On one hand,I think the male is on the right, being all puffed up at the beach showing off...
On the other hand, I don't see his friends around so maybe he is on the left hearing about being on the beach all puffed up showing off..
On the good hand, I think you're right.

It's my understanding that for most birds it's very difficult to tell the sex unless they have plumage that distinguishes one from the other. I have a Yellow Fronted Amazon thats 20 years old and I still don't know what sex he/she is. I was told I would have to go through all kinds of tests to determine what it was.

I don't know what sex a bird is - I respect its privacy

Why would you have to go through tests? I would thing that the bird would be the one to be tested.

I think it's obvious. Women are of another tribe altogether. They are wired different than normal..I mean different than men. While a man needs to be proactive and problem solving, women need to summarize their day in order to put it to bed. So the men have already "done", and the women need to have a verbal closure before it's done. Of course these are just generalizations and some women don't talk nearly as much as some men.

My dad use to say "Women! You can't live with em and you can't live with em". But there have been kingdoms that have risen and fallen at the whim of a dictator/king that was enraptured by one of these most confusing of species.

I like them. But they sure can talk.

In the words of Andy Griffith to his "son" Opie:

Andy:"Son, you know what I've learned about women?"

Opie:"No, Pa, What?"

Andy:" Not a darn thing."
