Pigeon breeding - very developed branch of poultry farming in which people in many countries of the world are engaged. The first pigeons were tamed by the person 5000 years ago, and today it is possible to mark out more than 800 breeds of pigeons. All breeds are divided into three categories: sports, gonny and decorative. Pigeons are tender birds who demand permanent care. Buying a pigeon on a pigeon farm or in poultry market, you need to define a sex of a bird. There are various signs by means of which experienced manufacturers distinguish pigeons from a pigeon.
Instruction
1. So, professionals can define a sex of a pigeon on his appearance. As a rule, males it is more and more thickly than females, they are more lobasta and possess a massive beak. The head at the self-check usually is less, as well as their voskovitsa. However, defining a sex of a pigeon only on appearance, it is easy to be mistaken, here a key role is played by breed turn blue. Males of some breeds can look much more graceful and womanly, than females of others.
2. The pigeon can distinguish from a pigeon, having felt pelvic bones of a bird. Under a breast, practically at a tail of a bird, you will be able to grope two thin pelvic stones. At the self-check between these stones always quite wide distance - to one centimeter. At males the pelvic bones are practically closed. However, and in such way of sex determination of a pigeon there is an inaccuracy share. For example, at absolutely very young nonparous a pigeon of a stone can be brought together.
3. It is also possible to define a sex of a pigeon on behavior of a bird. For example, during a parovaniye (that is courtings of a male for a female) the pigeon begins to come actively on a pigeon. He makes loud sounds, spreads a tail and inflates a craw. Having felt a female, the pigeon begins to be turned on a cage, and then to jump up sharply to a pigeon. A pigeon, placed in a cage to a pigeon, behaves more "in a feminine way". It "smoothly" moves to a male on a tail, gently cooing. Accepting courtings, a pigeon tousles feathers on a waist and bows to a pigeon.
4. If you place to a male of other male, then they, most likely, will start among themselves a fight. A fight there can sometimes begin also pigeons of an opposite sex, but in most cases it does not occur. Two the pigeons put in one cage treat each other calmly, without aggression. It should be noted that for the most exact sex determination of a pigeon it is the best of all to use all above-mentioned means.
