NOT A GREY Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 so we got the DNA results back and baby is a girl! so now we need to name her on our list is tesla-bailee-lila-vena any others to add or point us to the ones you like best also........... for the dna test I only plucked one chest feather...... and then got about 7 from below her cage everyone tried to say they had to be plucked! I thought if the police can get my DNA from a cup they sure as heck can get DNA from a feather that was stuck in said bird worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Congratuations! I'd love to know Timber's gender (for sure). I checked out the site one of the other members recommended but decided not to go ahead. I'm planning to talk to the vet about it on our next visit, which will be soon.

NOT A GREY Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 this was so eazy! I just printed the form online filled it out............ made myself pluck one feather.......... but those darn thinks dont come out eazy! I found it quite hard to cause my bird pain. so after one I cleaned the cage and waited for new fresh ones to fall. gathered up several put them in a zip lock and sent them off cost was 24 bucks and I just had them mail me the results took less then 2 weeks from start to finish.

NOT A GREY Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 everyone says that........ way more bird comment lol! but I really dont think they require more then any other bird. they just need a bigger cage and you get more bird to love lol!

MissYellow Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Wow. Its so colourful. These birds are very smart and fast learners as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am so glad to hear the way you did your DNA worked out fine. I have been thinking of doing just that but didn't want to pay for an inconclusive test. Plus, I don't want to break the trust we are building with Gilbert, so this could be an alternative if we get a feather he plucks himself before it is time to go back to the vet for something else.
