                                   SHE has become HE                                                      

Extreme changes in temperatures,toxicity in food & pollution has resulted in conversion of a female pheasant in lucknow zoo in a male bird.According to vets,one of the ovaries in female birds might have  stopped functioning thus disbalancing the hormonal content in their body.In a normal female bird only the left ovary is seen functional but due to infection or any other  reasons if it deceases then right ovary becomes active & produces more testosterone resulting in male plumage.
