Product Details

Product Overview

There are many reasons for sexing parrots, including social management and aggression prevention, breeding planning, behavior and training, avoiding reproductive distress, healthcare, and maintaining balance in social groups. The primary goal is to better manage and care for these pet birds.
In short, parrot sexing helps owners better meet their pets’ needs and provide a suitable environment and proper care. Whether for breeding, socialization, or health management, knowing a parrot’s gender accurately is essential for the bird’s well-being and the owner’s satisfaction.

DNA Testing

This is the most widely used method for parrot sex determination, based on DNA analysis. It offers extremely high accuracy and is suitable for parrots of all ages. DNA samples are typically extracted from feathers or toenails, followed by genetic analysis. Gender is identified by detecting sex chromosomes or specific genetic markers to determine whether the parrot is male or female.

Tested Species

Budgerigars, Cockatiels, Lovebirds, and other parrot species

Instrument Structure

The Parrot Sex Detector is a real-time amplification and detection instrument, mainly composed of a gene amplification thermal cycler system, a real-time fluorescence detection system, a microcircuit control system, and a computer with application software. The two core functional modules are the thermal cycler system and the real-time fluorescence detection system.
The gene amplification thermal cycler operates on a principle similar to conventional PCR instruments, using semiconductor heating and cooling to complete thermal cycling. The fluorescence detection system mainly consists of a fluorescence excitation unit, optical signal transmission components, a fluorescence detection unit, and a control system.
