If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, that species may be monomorphic, meaning the sex cannot be reliably determined by appearance alone.
DNA testing is available for birds that require genetic sexing. DNA testing costs an additional $149 per bird to guarantee the requested gender. Testing may add approximately 3–6 weeks or more to the estimated delivery time while the gender results are being processed.
