In the case of birds, the total number of chromosomes is the same in both males and females. But two different types of gametes in terms of the sex chromosomes, are produced by females, i.e., female heterogamety.

In these organisms, the females have one Z and one W chromosome, whereas males have a pair of Z-chromosomes besides the autosomes.
