The definition of sex in a parrot coral is a rather difficult task, which even not every experienced breeder of this species can do. It's all about the sex demarcation inherent in all the varieties of the order of nymphs.
The most reliable data can be obtained only by performing a DNA test using a pen or a drop of bird blood. Another effective way of determining the sex of the corella is to perform an endoscopic examination. However, the possibility of carrying out such experiments is available only if there are appropriate indications.
Determine the sex of a bird of this species can be visually, but it is possible only if it has a natural color and has no impurities in its genus. Usually such individuals are represented by gray parrots, in males whose cheeks begin to become bright when they reach 4 months of age.
If the corella is the carrier of the genetic mutations of the color of the feathers, then its sex identity can be established only when there are data on the parents. It should be noted that all young birds of this species have identical coloration, which is preserved until the first molt. Then the color of the feathers remains unchanged.
Methods of how to determine the sex of the parrot corella
Among the breeders of birds, there are several ways to visually establish the sex of parrots of this species, for example:
- an adult with a pearl-colored color can only be a female;
- tail feathers in females are wider than those of their partners; it has a beautiful and bright pattern, of course, in the absence of disease ;
- tails of male coralles always the same tone;
- females have about 5 rounded spots on the inside of the wingspan;
- an interesting way of finding out the sex of the Corellian parrot is to observe its "peeking posture" when the male stretches out into the string, spreads its wings a little, lowers its head, the tail is located in one plane of the body and the bird emits a characteristic inscription. Samochka for his singing, he throws back his head and raises his tail.
