In case you are a birder then you know all your bird identification well, but in case you are a new bird watching enthusiast then you surely need some tips on bird watching. Birds can be identified by some of the following features:
- Bird egg identification.
- Bird call identification.
- Bird physical appearance identification.
The different methods used for bird sex identification are also fun, in the case of Adelie penguins it has been observed that more then 90 percent males are incubating the eggs after fifteen to twenty one days of egg laying. Similarly the peak female presence is observed during thirty three to thirty six days of egg laying. The blue bird eggs are moderate in size and pale blue in colour, usually in pine leave nests or dried leave nests.
When you want to identify your bird:
Consider the size of the bird small, medium or large. Small birds are usually as small as a sparrow, medium are somewhere between a sparrow and a pigeon and the large birds are bigger then a pigeon.
Colour of the bird; this is the commonest method of bird identification, green parrots, grey and white ducks and blue kingfishers and blue birds.
Then comes the habitat of the bird, in case you see the bird in Europe but only once a year it could be a migratory bird, but if it is seen throughout the year then chances are that the bird is originally from that region.
Bird call – there are many sites online dedicated to bird calls with actual sound clips for identification of the bird.
Sometimes you can identify the bird species but not the exact bird, bird species identification may be easier then individual bird identification.
