There are many ways to identify the gender of pigeons, such as the following common methods.

The first is the anus identification method: on both sides of the anus, if the perianal upper part is more protruding than the perianal lower part, it may be a male pigeon. If there is no obvious change, it may be a female pigeon. There is also a body type identification method: male pigeons are more rebellious, and vice versa. Male pigeons have larger heads and feet, and the opposite is true for female pigeons.

Color identification method: Usually the feathers on the neck of male pigeons are brighter in color, while those of female pigeons are relatively lighter in color. The above are the experiences summed up by many breeders, but if necessary, ensure 100% accuracy.

The following two methods are clinically more accurate: The first is molecular biology detection: polymerase chain reaction, which uses feathers for DNA testing. There is also endoscopic testing: the endoscope enters the body cavity and directly observes the gonads to identify males and females.
