ten looks are:
look at the head. The head is small, there is no back of the head, and the female bird is narrow near the mouth. The head is big, with the back of the head, and the male bird is wide near the mouth.
look at your eyes. The eyes are big, the eyes are on the top of the mouth, and the males are close to the corners of the mouth. Eyes are small and dull, eyes and mouth are in a straight line, and the female bird is far from the corner of her mouth.
three eyebrows. The eyebrows are white, wide and long, or narrow and long, but they are clear and beautiful. The eyebrows extend all the way back to the head, and the eyebrows are thick. The male bird is connected at the back of the head. This is one of the main signs to distinguish between men and women. The eyebrows are thick and short, the eyebrows are not bright, some eyebrows are intermittent, and the females are not connected at the back of the head.
look at the legs. Male birds have thick and long legs. The males hatched on the grass beach have red legs and look better. There is a saying: "Thrushcross's eyebrows, lark's legs." Eyebrows and legs are one of the main signs to distinguish between thrush and lark. It's the female who has short and stout legs. When you look at your legs, you should pay attention to whether your claws, feet and legs are broken or injured, whether your feet are splayed or your toes are uneven.
watch your mouth. The mouth is long and thick, and it is the male who pecks powerfully. Have a plenty of eagle hook mouth or jade mouth (like jade, translucent) is more precious. With a short, thin mouth, it is the female who can't peck at her wings. There are 6-12 white feathers in the flight feathers of each wing, and the white and shiny ones are male birds. The more white feathers, the better. There are less than 6 white feathers in the flight feathers of each wing, and the dull one is the female bird.
look at the black neck ring. There is a semicircular black feather under the lark's front neck, which is called "black neck ring". The black collar is long and dull, and the short and narrow one is the female bird. It is also one of the main signs to identify male and female by looking at the black neck ring.
eight look at the mouth. When a chick is hungry, it cries and opens its mouth. At this time, the color of its mouth and the size of its throat can be observed. The male with a red mouth and a big throat. The female bird is red in the mouth and yellow in the throat.
9. Look at the head contraction and stiffness of chicks; Hold the chick in your hand, push the chick's head with your thumb, and it is the female who retracts her head and retreats her body to her hand. The head is straight forward or always straight, and the male bird does not shrink back.
look at the position of the chicks in the nest. Male birds are afraid of cold and heat during the chick period. At night, male birds drill at the bottom of the nest to warm themselves with the body temperature of female chicks. At noon, the bottom of the nest is sultry, and the male birds come up to ventilate. Male birds are lively and active, and according to this law, they can identify male and female when picking up small larks.
touch and listen is:
touch. When picking up the lark, hold the chick in your hand exactly the same, and touch it slightly, and you can feel the difference. Male birds have hard bones and female birds are soft. Touching the top of the head with your index finger from front to back is also different. There is a high ridge in the center of the top of the head of the male bird from front to back, while the female bird is flat.
listen. Listen to the chicks. Both males and females can sing singly in their infancy, but the male birds sing loudly and beautifully, while the female birds sing deeply and unhappily. From the singing, it can be distinguished whether they are females or males. Listen to the little lark "zip". From the nestling period to the end of molting period, the male little lark began to zip it. When it was zipped, the bird's mouth did not open, and its throat blared. You can see the back of the lower headland and the upper throat of the black neck ring flashing, which is also called "practicing voice". There are high and low voices, and although you can't hear clearly what you are singing, you can clearly hear the teasing, which is the unique name of the male bird. Female birds sometimes zip their locks and can only make a monotonous straight sound, similar to the cry of small sparrows.
However, we should make a comprehensive analysis of the impressions gained from "looking at one pattern and listening to two patterns". We can neither look at one item in isolation nor seek perfection. As long as the main characteristics are consistent, we can judge the sex. If some chicks have 9 white feathers in their flight feathers, their eyebrows are connected behind their heads, and their legs are very strong, even if they are slightly shorter, they can be sure to be male. It is impossible to completely match the above characteristics. After selecting the males, we must choose the best among them. Choosing the best among the males is not as difficult as choosing the males. In addition to the general characteristics of a male lark, its male characteristics are more obvious and prominent, that is, the best of the males.
The criteria for selecting the best male are: a big mouth, strong pecking, big eyes, a big flat head, a wide and long eyebrow, two eyebrows connected to the back of the head, glossy coat, large and obvious coat pattern, fat body, spindle-shaped body, thick and strong legs, persistent tail feathers, and straight wings (pay attention to whether the wings are injured or broken, and whether the wings are left and right) But sometimes the eyes, head, eyebrows, wings, body, appearance and other major parts are all good, that is, the legs are slightly shorter or the mouth is not ideal, and there are no obvious problems in others. All aspects are very good, and perfection is really rare. For example, those with iron mouth, iron claws and iron legs are not as good as those with jade mouth, red legs and flat top. Of course, it is not as good as the mutated white lark, crested lark, hooked-billed lark and solitary lark. These larks are relatively few, and it would be even more icing on the cake if they had the characteristics of being the best among the males.
When purchasing young larks, we should not only pay attention to the choice of male birds, but also look at their mental state and physique, and whether they are feathered or not. Touch the thickness of the chest muscle with your hand to see if it is "deficient", whether the anus is dirty, and whether the tail fat gland (commonly known as "tip") is complete. The male and female calls are obviously different, but the appearance is difficult to distinguish, so there is a saying that "the thrush doesn't call, and the gods don't know". It is said that the male bird has a thick mouth, a round mouth peak, a long nostril, a flared mouth, and thin and light body feathers. The back toe pad is large and the claws are thick, so when defecating, it is "divided into crotch".
(1) The arguer who has a strong eye is quick-witted and aggressive. Feathers are strong and bright in color, strong in shape and sexy in males, while females are the opposite. (2) Listen to the singing of birds, which is short and low. The song of the male bird is long and high, full of changes. (3) observing the nostrils of birds through ear holes, if you can see through them, you are male; On the contrary, it is female. (4) The male is heavier, slightly smaller, with longer neck and body and higher feet; The female is big and virtuous. The male has a short and fat mouth and a dark color; The female has a long, thin mouth and a light color. (5) depending on the size of the pelvis, it is the basis for distinguishing between men and women. The pelvis is the pubic bone below the abdomen, and the distance between the two abdominal bones is wide for females and narrow for males. (6) generally, the anus of birds is observed. The male bird with a large protrusion and a pointed front end is the female bird with a small protrusion and a flat front end. (7) The tail feathers of males with different tail feathers are longer, and the beneficial shape is more than three layers; The tail feather of the female bird is a little shorter, and there is no fan with more than triple weight. When catching birds, the tail of the male bird hooks down, and the female bird does the opposite. (8) When trying to catch birds with resistance, the male has stronger resistance and heavier body shame. Females have weaker resistance and lighter weight. (9) If the eyes are opened and closed to catch birds, such as plucking the bird's neck, the bird's eyes are male and closed. This is related to Professor Xia Yuanyu's masterpiece "Pigeons have gone with the clouds"; There are "glaring at the male and blinking at the female". The plot fits. According to Mr. Zhou Liang 'an of Ruifang Highway Bureau, the special method for distinguishing the male from the female of the day-browed bird is that there is a tuft of soft hairs that grow closely inward near the anus (outside the reproductive organs) of the male bird, some of which are long and some are short, which can be identified. Female birds have long and sparse soft hairs, which are not inward, so they can be separated. (11) Leg-shaped flapping, standing posture, begging sound: Mr. Bai Xian Zhen of Tainan Waterworks said: Male birds have thicker legs and females are thinner. Two birds flapping their wings upward relative to the male, and the female flapping their wings downward. The female bird stands in a lower posture, while the male is higher. When young birds beg for food, the one with loud and high pronunciation is male, and vice versa. (12) Bai Jun, the coat color on the chest, told me that the female bird's neck collar was light yellow, while the male bird was mixed with black stripes to distinguish it. (13) Throat Crying According to Mr. Huang Chuanxin of Academia Sinica, after eating, the thrush baby bird hangs on a high place and looks at its neck throat. If it vibrates up and down, it is male, and if it does not vibrate, it is female. For example, if the pronunciation is rough, the combination is male, such as "goo". A single tone with a thin voice, such as "Xun", is female. (14) Mouth nail shape Mr. Zhang Zixiu, a senior thrush expert, director of the Chinese Acupuncture Association, told me that the male and female can be identified by the mouth nail, and the circle is male and the flat is female. (15) Bird's beard Mr. Li Kexin, Tainan Municipal Public Sales Bureau, said: To distinguish a bird's mouth beard, the one with a large and thick beard is male, and vice versa. (16) the shape of black feet Mr. Du Gu Cikang, a water official from Tainan City, told me that the male bird's feet are high and the female bird's feet are short, the male bird's feet are thick and the female bird's feet are thin, and the male bird's feet are flat and the female bird's feet are round. (17) The hair quality and feather color of male birds are rougher than that of female birds, and the feather color is more shiny and obvious; Just like humans, men's skin is roughly rougher than women's. (provided by Mr. Chen Jinyong, an expert on thrush birds in Tainan) (18) Compared with the running foot, Mr. Chen Jinyong pointed out that the running foot of a female bird is parallel up and down, with three front paws (namely, the second, third and fourth toes), and the left and right paws (namely, the second and fourth toes) are shorter and thinner than those of Gongdao, and they are softer to grasp. The upper and lower ends of the male bird's running paw are thicker, the middle is slightly concave and has lines, and the front paws are also three. The second and fourth toes are thicker and longer than the female bird's, so they are strong when grasping and carrying. (19) Identifying the head of Thrushcross Island in Taiwan by the feather flowers on the head is dark and thick, and has obvious regular vertical stripes, while the female bird has short and chaotic dotted lines. (Provided by Mr. Lu Xinji, an expert on thrush in Taichung City) (2) Mr. Lin Jingyu, an expert on thrush in Kaohsiung City, said: The closer the male thrush's eyes are to the bridge of his nose, the better his eyes are protruding, the more fierce his eyes are, the better his eyes are flexible and powerful, and his throat and upper chest are wider and his pronunciation is better; The male bird's shoulders are flat, and the female bird's shoulders are slightly inclined. You can't just look at the appearance of a thrush, but its performance is the most important. (Eyes represent performance)
(1) Those who argue that the eyes are male have eyes, are agile and aggressive. Feathers are strong and bright in color, strong in shape and sexy in males, while females are the opposite.
