I like all the shots Lee, if I had to guess, I would say the second picture is the female bird. I don't have a reason, I just think it is!

I had never seen these clouds until I moved to Georgia. We see them occasionally. They fascinate me.

Usually male birds are more colorful so I would guess the top one is male.

Beautiful cumulus clouds, Lee. Once in awhile I have seen something like that in our sky.
I guess the female is the light colored bird... What a neat sky!

Hi MsEd,

Thank you. I have seen these clouds before but from afar and not directly overhead and not so low. I agree that bird number 2 is the female although I missed the pink in the wing. The two were actually a couple because they were sitting on the same cable but not close together. Maybe they just had a row.

Hi MySeek,

Thank you. I agree the lighter one looks softer and more feminine/ curvy.

Hi traveler,

Ha,ha. Thank you. Sorry about the confusion. This is the first time I have posted more than one photo and something must have gone wrong somewhere. Hmm, I wonder if there are male and female clouds.

That's true, mrsjoe. That is why I only took two shots.

Thank you, Haw. I agree the second is the female because it is more curvaceous and as pointed out by MsEd, there is a touch of pink.

Thank you, Roxy. They do look like popcorn, don't they? Yes, nature can sometimes take us by surprise.

Hi Abelle,

I see these kind of clouds occasionally in Malaysia too but they are usually high up and far away. In the bird world, the male is always more colorful - look at the ducks and the cock and hen. However, in the human world, it is the female who is more beautiful.

Hi GLUMO,

Thank you. You mean these clouds travel to your part of the world too?

Hi AneMac,

I have looked at the photos again and you are right, the white one is more noticeable. Wow! Even the birds are chivalrous.
