I would never surgically sex a bird period. Why do that if you can just pluck 5-6 feathers, 1 blood feather or use a DROP of blood?
If anything, send out two different labs if you're worried about human errror.
I also feel the $30 or so is money well spent for my animal not to have to be cut open at all. Especially considering a bird can bleed to death in moments. Just doesn't seem like a risk I'd take over $10.
not sure where you get your information but My birds had a single drop of blood that was it!
I prefer to make sure their internal organs are fine and since it can all be done in one QUICK look I will continue to do it
nothing has went wrong with any of my birds who's had it done or any other bird I've seen/read/heard about having it done
It is NOT as bad as you all are making it out to be
Perhaps you need to see it actually being done to get over the phobia of it.
If it was not quick,safe and painless and my birds were not back to normal within minutes Do you really think I'd keep doing it??????????
oh and by the way Surgically sexing has been done for many more years than DNA testing. How do you think birds were sexed before DNA testing was ever created?
