Sexing Birds

Sexing Birds

Until now I never fully understood how to tell the difference between male and female birds. I always thought it had to be determined surgically... until now.

Below are two birds. Study them closely..... See if you can spot which of the two is the female.. It can be done. Even by one with limited bird watching skills.

I don't know what sex a bird is - I respect its privacy

Tarkus...it's a losing battle.

I was told I would have to go through all kinds of tests to determine what it was.


Why would you have to go through tests? I would thing that the bird would be the one to be tested.

I think it's obvious. Women are of another tribe altogether. They are wired different than normal..I mean different than men. While a man needs to be proactive and problem solving, women need to summarize their day in order to put it to bed. So the men have already "done", and the women need to have a verbal closure before it's done. Of course these are just generalizations and some women don't talk nearly as much as some men.

My dad use to say "Women! You can't live with em and you can't live with em". But there have been kingdoms that have risen and fallen at the whim of a dictator/king that was enraptured by one of these most confusing of species.

I like them. But they sure can talk.

In the words of Andy Griffith to his "son" Opie:

Andy:"Son, you know what I've learned about women?"

Opie:"No, Pa, What?"

Andy:" Not a darn thing."

Actually, the bird on the right is male: "where's my dinner?" cos he's too lazy to get it himself. Sadly, that's a fact in the human domain as well (and I'm male).

And Tarkus, your original comment was somewhat out of line, you wouldn't speak to your mother like that, and an apology wouldn't go astray. Surely that would be far better than continuing to trade further unpleasantries. Common decency and respect costs you nothing, so how about it, mate? Whilst some may be amused by this situation, my guess is that the majority are not. By all means have a joke, but please, not at anyone elses expense.

So men are from Mars and women are from Venus? Truth is, we men would still be swinging from the trees if not for their positive influence to civilise us.

Poor Tarkus...he cracks a joke at himself and every one has to jump to conclusions and beat him up about it.

I like swinging from trees, and pox upon the woman who wants me to settle down to a treehouse and look longingly out the window at the beautiful branches waiting to be swung through.

In regards to all of the animosity; let's all try to have the shortest of memories in that regard. It is physically, spiritually, and emotionally unhealthy to carry anger around for very long.

Thank you Starkers. You are so right. Thats all it would have taken.

Thanks for caring about our welfare. I do not hold any anger towards anyone. All I have to do is consider the source.

And I would like to bring something into the light myself. Any lasting argument, or ongoing argument I have had on a thread here have involved WebGizmos. He has turned up at my arguments like a bad apple,ready to defend and hold the hand of the man I am having a disagreement with, which in reality have only been a couple. Instead of minding everyone elses business, he should mind his own. I think all the people on the site are capable of handling their own problems. If not,there is the option of going to the administration. As I said before. If he would have stayed out of it, it would have eliminated all the off topic comments to this thread but 2 or 3.
It's time men to come into the present and out of the caves. Woman are here to stay. And without us, you wouldn't even exist.Perhaps it is not our shortcoming that men do not understand us, but your own inability to see beyond self.

See comment #3, which was the first comment that was off topic. If a person pokes fun at HIMSELF, (which he was obviously doing) i see no reason for berating him. There was no vulgar language. If the word "porn" offends to this degree how can cope in life? We hear and see it (edited of course) on the nightly news and the mention of it is on prime time TV. I've even heard it mentioned in churches. It was a joke directed at himself (asked my wife to be sure), which to me shows a good sense of humor. If we can't laugh at ourselves why bother laughing at all.

I don't know or care about any other grievances you might have with TARKUS, I am only commenting on the one that was brought up. Seems to me that this should have been handled privatly. You could have created a false acct (as others have done) if you didnt want your email acct to be visible.

There are many who dont want to see bickering here, though I am not one of them, (I found it very entertaining...and enlightening). It helps those of us with a dry and sarcastic sense of humor know who we can joke with, if nothing else.

I agree.

not that I want to see it, but if it's here I'll read it
entertaining - most of the time
enlightening - depends on who's commenting

I THINK I GOT IT!

It was a trick question, wasn't it?

They're both female.

The one on the right is the mother-in-law.
