i heard to know if your bird is a boy is by the beak..?

Question

theres this statement that if the beak is long its a girl or something dose any1 know what it means

Answer 1

It would help if you told us what kind of bird you're asking about.

All birds species are different. Some have visual differences, some do not. Some must be tested by DNA or blood sample.

Answer 2

I am taking a wild guess here but are you talking about a parakeet? If so, you can tell the sex of a parakeet by the color of its "cere" which is the fleshy area above the beak where the nostrels are. In very young parakeets almost all of the ceres appear to be a purple or lavender color. However, as they begin to get older (after about 2-3 months) you should see a definite change in the color. The cere on a boy will look more blue than purple and the cere on the girls will turn a beige to light brownish color; and when a female comes into breeding condition, her beak will turn quite a dark brown. Likewise, the male's beak will become quite a bright and shiny blue. Mind you though, these guidelines are for the basic usual or normal colored parakeet such as green or blue with black stripes on the wings and head. Sometimes with other mutations, this rule does not always hold true.

Mutations are unusual colors of parakeets such as white "albino", yellow "lutino, or some of the "pied" varieties. Pied is where there appears to be patches or spotches of two colors on the bird.

Now, if you are talking about another type of bird such as some of the Asian species, other rules apply to beak color. Sometimes the males have a red upper beak ("mandible") and the females have a black mandible.

Also, breeders of certain species such as macaws or conures can sometimes tell the difference between the sexes by the width of a bird's beak but the breeder would need to have a lot of experience and have compared dozens and dozens of birds to be able to tell the difference.

Answer 3

No not the actual beak- there is an area above the beak (looks like their nose) called the Cere. In males it willt urn blue the older they get and females will be more pinkish white. All birds beaks will get long if they do not use a cuttle bone or anything to keep it trimmed!

Answer 4

Really depends on what type of bird. There are some breeds which you can differentiate sex by the shape of the tail feathers, some by the coloration of feathers, still others need to be examined or tested in other ways.

Answer 5

It depends on every species. Other birds have different head colours, others have different tails, others may have different beaks, etc.

Answer 6

No its the skin above.mainly with parakeets.
Males are colored
Feamles are white.
Unless it's like a cockatiel then it's the wing pattern.
