best way to dna sex?

[taylor_]

do avian vets do this? or is it better to go through a different method?

Avian vets do it but generally charge a lot. I think the best way is to go through a company that does this. I use DNA Solutions that I found through the Internet. They do a lot of this. I prefer sending feathers in and it cost just under $20 is all. The service is good and fast.

We use avian biotech, I actually just sent one out this morning. It's 20 for blood testing(you cut the birds nail a bit too short) or 25 for feather testing(you pull a couple feathers from the birds chest area and send them in).

i'd probably do feathers. i'm too much of a baby to hurt my little nugget i'm even nervous to pluck some feathers....

i will probably do feathers when i get my bird. and use the vet near me unless he chages un godly amounts

I used these guys, and just used the needle provided to get a small blood sample from their feet... I could do it all myself, and didn't need the helper I had lined up...
