I have an African Grey is there a way to tell what sex they are2007-11-24 17:22:14

Or is it threw Dna.

Answers:

Look at the bottom (underside) of the red tail feathers. Females are slightly tipped with gray, and males are solid red. This will work on mature birds (over 6 months old) This is accurate in most cases. DNA is a for sure thing.

a blood test is the main way. I have heard of people scoping them to check sex, but I'd think the blood test to be less invasive and expensive.

- a veterinarian

Vet or bird specialist has to probe it is what I heard.

The Vet will do a blood test to look at the DNA.This method is less costly and less invasive/traumatic to the parrot.Hope this helps.

dna sexing

In BirdTalk magazine there are ads for testing. You can write, call or e-mail and they will send you a kit and tell you how to obtain the specimen you need for sexing. It is reasonable and the results come back quickly! Good luck!

There are many ways you can tell the sex now through DNA etc. You can do it by ordering a DNA test vial that the company will send you, clip the birds quik in the nail only slightly to where you can get a small blood sample. Make sure you use quik stop powder to stop the bleeding. Corn starch will also work. There is also sexing them from a feather that you can send in.
