Looking for a certain place that dna sexes parrots

Postby saiyan on Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:18 pm

About fours years ago I had some birds sexed, but I had thrown away the cards with the sexes on them since I didn't have the birds anymore. Anyway, this place had instructions online on how to pull the feather and wrap it into a ziploc bag and mail it. The other places I have seen have to mail you the collection kit. Does anyone know of this place that I am talking about?

My local petstore is going to get two rosie cockatoos in a day or two. I need one to be a female, so I want to have them both sexed like ASAP so I can select the one that I want. If anyone can point me to this please, please do so quickly.

Thanks

    Avian Biotech is great. Feather and blood sexing is available. I have a link for them on my site.

    Yes, you are correct. I was on that site earlier, but I did not find the link that spoke about collecting the samples.

    This is definitely the place.

    Thanks

    Absolutely, thanks for pointing this out to me. At least I have another place to look into also.
