Hermaphrodite
is a term refers to organisms which have both sexes, male and female.
Well known example is worms (earth worms).
How
about if an organism has a “Half-Male Half-Female” sex organ? It
is called as a “bilateral
gynandromorph.”
This
kind of anomaly cause a half body as a male and another part is
female.
In
case of bird, a cardinal bird, for simplify that a male is identified
by his red color, while female is shown by her pale brown or gray
brown or brownish yellow.
We
are easy to distinguish male and female by color of cardinal birds.
Recently,
a bird watcher in Pennsylvania, USA, Shirley
Caldwell observed a cardinal with “split coat” in her backyard.
Experts
believed the bird is a Half-Male Half-Female organism.
As reported by Gray (2014) that this kind of “bilateral gynandromorph” bird was first time spotted in 2008. It regularly visited Rock Island, Illinois.
Uniquely,
a cardinal with rare sex appearance had never sing, no mate, lonely,
not “bullied” and ignored by other cardinals.

Even
thought a rare case, scientists believed that bilateral gynandromorph
could be found in all bird species, especially to species with
distinctly
different between male and female.

How fascinating! I did not know this could happen with birds.

Have You Seen a Half-Male Half-Female Bird?
DeleteI haven't heard of that before, was wondering if it was a fake picture, it is so sad you don't know anymore these days they can fake pictures so well. That would be something to see.
ReplyDeletenot fake, since it was reported by mainstream medias like national geographic, nbc news etc.... also science media such as: livescience….
Delete# My pictures just for illustrations..... but many real pictures and even video
Have You Seen a Half-Male Half-Female Bird?
DeleteGosh, I suppose that the appearance of half-unique birds is half-colored and is the result of an engineering that was deliberately made by its keepers ...
ReplyDeleteIt turns out that there really is a bird like that ...
Very unique.
The genetics are also very rare, combined between male and female.

Wow! I had no idea. We see cardinals all the time - nearly always a mating pair in our yard. I'll keep an eye out for this phenomenon.

OMG!! I never heard of a split coat like that. WE have a lot of cardinals here in PA. I will have to keep an eye out for one. We also have coyotes in NJ and my daughter has seen one in the field close to her house that is albino. It is always alone. Thanks for an interesting article.
