Identification of a bird's sex is often very difficult. In some species the colour of plumage or difference in size helps to differentiate between the male and female (dimorphic species) but other species of birds are monomorphic, that is that males and females look identical. Also even with dimorphic birds, most have to be adults before you can detect differences between the two sexes.

Synergene offers fast, reliable and cost effective bird sexing services. Our test is non-surgical and non-invasive and hence guarantees the peace of mind for the health of your bird.

Bird sexing is carried out on plucked feathers from the bird's chest or by taking a small quantity of blood from their toe nails.
