DNA Avian Sexing Blood Kits

$9.50$38.00

If you need to take a blood sample, we have blood kits available. These kits contain a sterile needle, bags and cards for you to prick the bird’s foot or leg and put a tiny spot of blood on the card.

If you want to send us feathers, instead of blood cards, we need 2 normal feathers around 4 – 8cm long. If they are under 4cm please include 4 feathers.

If the bird has a growing feather (blood feather), then only one of any size, even a tiny one, is fine.

Bird Sexing DNA Test

Sample type: 2 feathers or 1 tiny blood spot

Cost:
$24.90 for a single bird
$18.90 each for sending 2 – 9 birds
$15.90 each for sending 10+ birds

The benefits of avian DNA sexing tests for researchers and breeders

Avian DNA sexing tests offer precise gender identification, which is invaluable across multiple areas, like breeding, research and aviculture.

  • Accurate breeding — DNA sexing ensures reliable gender identification, which helps breeders pair birds correctly and reduces the risk of infertility due to mismatched pairs. This results in higher success rates and more genetically diverse offspring.
  • Early intervention for behavioural issues — In some species, gender-specific behaviours can create problems in captivity. Knowing a bird’s sex early helps prevent aggression or mating-related stress. This contributes to a more peaceful environment, especially for hobbyists managing mixed flocks or introducing new birds into their aviaries.
  • Non-invasive testing — Our avian DNA sexing tests are performed using only feathers or blood, making them stress-free for the birds. This approach is safer than surgical alternatives.
  • Improved conservation efforts — For ornithologists and researchers, accurate gender data is crucial in tracking population dynamics and ensuring the survival of endangered species. Avian DNA sexing is vital in understanding breeding patterns and informing targeted conservation strategies.
  • Informed care and diet adjustments — Knowing the bird’s sex enables avian caretakers to make gender-specific adjustments to care, such as modifying diet or housing conditions. Gender-specific nutritional needs can affect health, especially during breeding seasons, so proper identification ensures optimal care for longevity and well-being.
