∙ 13y agoUsually, female birds are hens, and male birds are cocks. This leads to the interesting example of the peacock. The peacock is not a species; it is the male peafowl. The female peafowl is called a peahen, and their newly hatched offspring are peachicks. Ask people 'what do you call a female peacock' and many if not most won't realize that you're playing a trick on them.
