There are pigeons for sale at the Dongxihu Zoumaling Market. There are also poultry stalls selling pigeons at the Zomaling Vegetable Market in Dongxi Lake. They are all in a cage, and you can choose between male or female. But pigeons are different from chickens. It is difficult to distinguish male from female. If you are not an experienced pigeon farmer, it is easy to be mistaken, so selection is a difficult problem. There are two types of pigeons in the vegetable market. One is the meat pigeons from the breeding farm, which are very large and have no ankle rings. One is the eliminated products sold by pigeon breeders, pigeons with anklets. Among pigeons of the same species, males are generally larger than females and have brighter coats. Males can spin in circles, lower their tails and coo.
