yup you sure can. this is the company where i got my OW sex tested. i had a professional bird groomer trim one of his nails just enough to get one drop of blood. turns out the old vet not only had his species wrong but also his sex wrong. he listed him as a double yellow-headed zon. This was my first full size parrot and i knew the day i got him he was not a double yellow headed zon.... source: http://www.avianbiotech.com/SexingCenter.htm In 1999 several raptor (falcons, eagles, hawks, etc.) breeders in the US and Europe wanted a non-invasive method to sex their chicks. Results were needed within a week after hatching to give the breeder an opportunity to hand raise the chick or place it back in the nest with its mother. Studies showed that material left behind after hatching contained a large amount of vascular material which could be reliably used for sex identification. Five years later, we sex thousands of birds a year using the shells they have left behind after hatching.

The breeder will send me weekly pictures and i will post them.

Thank you. We had a re-homed Orange Wing Amazon for 2 years, unfortunately he passed a couple of weeks ago. We got him from our neighbors co-worker for free and that should have been a red flag for me. They had him since he was hatched and was 34 when he passed. they gave them to us because they were older and traveled a lot so they did not have time for him anymore and none of their kids wanted him. I spoke with the previous owners a few days later and told them i had to put him down they told me more about his history that i did not know. They had people move in with them for a while and soon after he turned from a nice bird to a nasty one. Turns out he got hit by the ceiling fan a few times and flew into the sliding glass door a few times, none of this i knew anything about..... We got home from the store and i found him at the bottom of his cage laying on his back, when i got him out of his cage he reached around and bit the holy crap out of his wing, i think he was thinking he was biting me because he could not feel it and he really tore into his wing. I rushed him to our vet and they tried to help him. She gave him anti-seizure meds because he was having seizures, pain meds for his wing, Valium to calm him down and x-ray'ed him. they kept him over night in a incubator but the next morning he was not any better. So i had a decision to make...... With the new info i got from the previous owners I believe his previous injuries caught up with him. I wish i had know all that so could have been proactive and had him thoroughly check out at the Colorado state university veterinary school. Even though we could not do much with him without getting a very nasty bite I miss him a lot. He had his own little personality and a fairly mellow bird.

hi. just posting to say that im new here and should getting our new CAG in late Nov. The eggs hatched last week so we are getting very excited. we are getting the egg shell DNA tested so we can come up with the correct name.

isnt 5 weeks way too young to send home? Does yours look like these two? are you testing how hot the formula is before you feed it to your bird?
