How to choose a good thrush?

wood thrush

Thrush birds are basically hermaphroditic, so it is indeed a department to select males from the cages of bird vendors. The simple way is to judge birds after listening to their songs, but in fact, immortals are often difficult to start and must be identified by their eyes. Generally speaking, men have the following characteristics compared with women:

(1) Body shape: Generally speaking, male thrush is bigger than female thrush (female thrush is not small if it is separated from old age, but other identification factors can be referenced); Chest muscles are also more developed than female birds, because they often sing and exercise; When you hold it in your hand and hold the thrush's foot with two fingers, its free power is obviously greater than that of the female bird; The hair of a male bird is tighter than that of a female bird; Men are slender, while women are short and fat.

(2) Head type: According to the head type, the male head is big and long; The female bird is round and small; The male bird's head door is wide, that is, the distance between his eyes is wide, while the female bird's head door is narrow.

(3) Feather color: The feather color of female birds is more beautiful than that of male birds. Under the sunlight, it can be seen that the feathers of male birds are more shiny than those of female birds.

(4) Foot shape: The thighs and tarsal bones of male birds are stronger than those of female birds, and the sarcoma under the hind toes is slightly larger than that of female birds (there is also a comparative problem to distinguish old-haired female thrush from male soft-haired female thrush).

(5) Beard style: The arrangement of tentacles of male thrush and female thrush is different. The arrangement of males is thin and straight, while that of females is thick and regular.
