Why would you DNA test a BIRD? It a BIRD....You'll spend more on the test than the bird is worth.

Hey Siko, The Veterinary Diagnostics Center will help you with all your questions. The DNA sexing requires 5 plucked chest feathers or blood from cutting a toe nail to the quick. Call 1-800-625-0874 It costs around 20 dollars and they will send you a certificate and e-mail the results. The kit will be sent to you free of charge with clear instructions. have a great day every day.
