If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, the species may be monomorphic, meaning males and females are difficult or impossible to distinguish by appearance.
DNA testing can be used when gender identification is required. DNA testing is an additional $149 per bird to guarantee the preferred gender.
Please note that DNA testing may add approximately 3–6 or more weeks to the estimated delivery time because the gender results must be received before shipping.
