Did you decide to get houses of a budgerigar or were going to give acquaintances such gift? And you are concerned by a reasonable question: and how at a parrot to define a sex? If you want to teach a birdie to speak, then it is better to take a male and if you already have wavy - a male, then in the company he will suit only a samochka. Parrots the people motley and on color it is simply impossible to distinguish males and females.
Instruction
1. Attentively look at the birds offered you. The main sign on which it is possible to define a sex at a parrot is a voskovitsa. She represents flow in the top part of a beak and in it nasal openings are located.
2. If you select a young bird (up to one and a half months), it will be more difficult to define a sex since voskovitsa at small the self-check and males always light: pinkish or almost white. Aged from 2 up to 4 months the coloring of voskovitsa begins to get a shade from birds. At males it becomes pinkish-lilac, and gains saturated bright blue color later. At the self-check an okrashennost of voskovitsa uneven: whitish-blue or beige with white spots. Distinctive feature of females at such age – light bordering around nostrils. With age voskovitsa of girls become brown. Pads of males more often happen a bluish shade, and at the self-check they are pink.
3. Try to define a sex of a bird on behavior. Young males are always more active than females. They with curiosity study a new situation, are lifted up with other parrots, rustle and sing longer songs. Thus, they try to draw attention to themselves. Behavior of females quieter. Songs by girls short and plain.
4. Consider that sometimes in the period of a severe stress or a molt color of voskovitsa the self-check can change from brown on blue. Do not worry if instead of Queshi as a result you had Masha, the self-check can teach to be spoken too. However if you get the partner to the pet, it is better not to make mistakes. Parrots quite temperamental birds can also start a quarrel with a fight.
