The identification methods of male and female pigeons include body shape, posture observation, feather identification, singing identification, bone identification, kissing identification and so on.

1, body shape and posture observation method

Male pigeons are larger, with slightly flat head, wide forehead, large nose tumor, large and slightly loose eye rings, short and hard neck, magnificent momentum, thick and powerful feet, and often chase other pigeons. The female pigeon has compact and beautiful body structure, slightly round head, slightly small nose tumor, close eye ring, long and narrow head, soft and thin neck, gentle temperament, quiet and not fighting, thin and short feet, and generally does not approach other pigeons when heartless.

2. Feather identification method

The neck feathers of male pigeons are thick and have a metallic texture. When courting, they are released in a round shape, and the tail feathers are fanned out. The tip of the main wing feathers is round and the tail feathers are dirty. The neck feathers of female pigeons are slender and soft, and the metallic luster is not as bright as that of male pigeons. The tips of the main wing feathers and chest feathers are pointed, and the tail feathers are clean.

3. Singing recognition method

As soon as the male pigeon calls, it gives a loud cry of "goo goo", the feathers on its neck are loosened, the air bag on its neck is inflated, the feathers on its back stand up, and its tail feathers spread out like a fan, sweeping its tail while calling. Singing often follows the mother pigeon, holding her head high and nodding her head up and down. The mother pigeon's song is small and short, with only a small and low "cooing" sound. When the male pigeon chased the song, the female pigeon nodded slightly.

4, bone identification method

Male pigeons have thick and powerful cervical vertebrae, long and slightly curved sternum, short distance between sternum and ovoid bone, narrow distance between pelvis and pubic bone, and thick tibia. The female pigeon has a slightly thin and soft cervical vertebra, a short and straight sternum, a wide distance between the egg bones, a wide distance between the end of the sternum and the egg bones, and a slightly thin and flat tibia.

5, kiss identification method

When a pair of pigeons kiss, the male pigeon opens his mouth and the female pigeon puts her beak into the male pigeon's mouth. The male pigeon will feed the female pigeon like a young pigeon. After kissing, the mother pigeon naturally squats down and accepts the mating of the male pigeon.
