“公母” in Chinese may have different equivalents in English. Some animals or birds have specific names that denote different sex. With certain less common animals and birds, “bull” or “cow” and “cock” or “hen” are frequently used to distinguish sex. Also, using the term “male” or “female”, or sometimes “she” or “he”, with the generic name, is acceptable.
