HOW TO TELL THE SEX OF A BIRD

This Is AMAZING!!!   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.

See the picture of an ordinary seagull to the left.  Can you tell if it’s a male or a female?  I don’t think so.  However, when you see two seagulls together, one male and one female, it becomes a little easier to tell the difference.

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

Click this link to the picture.

Thanks Gerry!
