SEXING IN BIRDS

Sexing in Parrots is called DNA sexing is necessary

to determine your birds gender (male or female).
Two ways to determine your parrot’s gender
1) DNA
2) PELVIC CHECK (old fashion way)
DNA sexing is not very costly and can

be pretty valuable to the owner.

DNA testing can be done on your own through

many labs that will send you the 'blood drop'

cards upon request.
There are two ways of doing.
1) DNA can by done by plucked feather of the chest,

personally I do not like plucked feathers.
2) Blood drop, you can get the blood with a nail

clipping just a few drops for the collection card.
You mail it out with your payment and in anywhere

from 1 to 3 weeks - you know for sure!
Personally I have done my entire DNA

sexing of my parrots with HEALTH GENE

PELVIC CHECK

Near a parrot’s vent are the “ends” of the pelvic bones.

It is sometimes true that the pelvic bones

of the male are closer together and the female have

wider since the female have to allow for passage of an egg.
Personally I prefer DNA but pelvic check is

sometime ok too, my sensei (tutor) taught me how

to do the pelvic check different ways very well.

I hope this information is good .

Thanks ,
Noor
