A bird DNA test determines the gender and genetic information of avian species using advanced molecular techniques.

Our tests provide high-precision results, with accuracy rates exceeding 99% for gender determination in various bird species.

We typically require feathers, blood, or eggshells as sample sources for conducting our bird DNA tests.

Most test results are available within 5 to 7 business days, depending on the type of service selected.

Many bird species do not show obvious visual differences between males and females. These include:

  • Parrots (e.g., Monk Parrot, Budgerigar, Macaw)
  • Canaries, Finches, Zebra Finches
  • Pigeons (especially racing or ornamental breeds)
  • Seabirds and waterfowl (e.g., ducks, geese)
    For these birds, gender cannot be reliably determined by appearance alone, making DNA testing the most accurate option.

DNA testing is one of the most accurate and non-invasive options. Other methods include:

  • Endoscopic examination: Highly accurate but requires anesthesia and involves surgical risk.
  • Hormone testing: Accurate but expensive and sample handling is complex.
  • Behavioral observation: May work for some species (e.g., singing, mating behavior), but is unreliable in many cases.
    Overall, DNA testing is the best combination of accuracy, safety, and affordability.

There are currently no widely available, portable devices that can reliably determine the gender of all bird species. Some scientific labs may use advanced imaging or molecular devices, but they are costly and complex—unsuitable for most bird owners or small breeders.

The typical lab workflow includes:

  1. Sample collection (blood, feathers, or eggshell membrane)
  2. DNA extraction
  3. PCR amplification of gender-specific DNA markers
  4. Gel electrophoresis or fluorescence analysis
  5. Report generation (usually within 1–3 business days)
