Common finch is a kind of ornamental birds and could not distinguish male and female birds. For sex discrimination of Common finch, we investigated 400 birds of Common finch using the anatomical differences of Pars intermandibularis and traditional methods that currently used at the farms. Both methods have the sex determination accuracy of 48.82 and 46.0 ％ that the anatomical difference method seems little higher results than the traditional methods. More researches is needed for improving the sex determination accuracy.
