We took all our retired owls for an examination and X-ray to the veterinarian Maria Markina @RedTabby in the vet clinic. Owls are old, so they have age-related problems that can no longer be cured. It is only necessary to maintain strength and comfort.
In the thirteenth year of life, we learned a shocking (no) reason why little owls Gnus and Yuinya did not have children. It was just that Yiunya was a male, not a female, as everyone thought. Only Gnus knew about this, and for the first five years of their life together, he was outraged that a man was given to him, arranging fights. And then they reconciled and became friends.
Why didn't we know before that little owl Yuinya was a male? Because in all physical appearance and proportions, she was a female. It wasn't visible on the X-ray either. And now it's spring, the mating season, and a real female Kutusha has arrived. Yuinya's testicles were enlarged and could be seen on the X-ray. Well, here it is. This is all you need to know about the ease of determining the sex of owls.
