Nowadays, there are more and more friends who raise parrots, but there is a headache for breeders, that is, is the parrot I raise male or female? Originally, I wanted to match the other half of the parrot in the family, but by looking and touching, it turned out to be a brother or sister, which caused the breeder to suffer losses. Therefore, the best way to identify male and female parrots is to identify them by testing their DNA.
At present, the method of identifying male and female by detecting parrot genes is very simple, first, it is necessary to pluck about 4 feathers with feathers at the root of the feather tube on the parrot, and the feathers that fall off naturally cannot be detected. When plucking, you only need to pinch a small handful of feathers on your chest with two fingers and quickly pluck them, and you can feel no pain for parrots.
The feathers are then sealed in a clean bag with a parrot information label on the bag. Finally, these feather samples can be couriered and mailed to a professional testing company. Excluding the express journey, the test results can be given within 2 days.
This method of genetic identification of the sex of parrots actually causes very little harm to parrots, and the results can be accurately and quickly identified in a short time. When buying a parrot, it is best to have the seller give the parrot a gender determination result together, so that you don't have to regret buying a parrot of the same sex for the sake of matching.
