How to tell male from female Java sparrows? These few identification methods are very practical

The Java sparrow is a common bird, deeply loved by people for its good looks and ease of keeping, and some even keep a few specially. So how do you tell male from female Java sparrows?

1. How to tell male from female Java sparrows?

Male and female Java sparrows can be distinguished by three features: the curve of the beak ridge, the call, and the eye ring. The male Java sparrow has a large beak ridge curve and a sharp call, and its eye ring is a relatively complete red. The female Java sparrow has a small beak ridge curve and a short, rapid call, and its eye ring is not a complete red.

2. What do Java sparrows eat?

Java sparrows like to eat seeds with husks, such as paddy rice, millet, broomcorn millet, and hemp seeds. Generally, paddy rice (or millet), barnyard grass seed, and broomcorn millet can be mixed at 6:3:1 and fed. In addition, feed some washed vegetable leaves, such as rapeseed leaves, Chinese cabbage, etc.; for disinfection, soak them in a 1/1000 potassium permanganate aqueous solution for 10 minutes, drain them, and then feed. Oyster shell powder and cuttlebone are also indispensable supplementary feeds. The feeding amount is once every other day. When adding, remove the leftover residue in the food dish.

Overall, Java sparrows are still quite easy to distinguish. You can listen to whether the call is crisp; if it is sharp, it is male, and if not, it is female. Or look at the eye ring; if the whole eye ring is red, it is male, and if not, it is female.
