|  |     The guys at Misty Haven Bird farm swear by it! If you follow
    instructions, they claim it's 97% accurate. It's also a lot
    less unpleasant for the birds.

|  |     All the avian vets in Houston love it.  It is very simple.
    	Snip a toe nail
    	Extract Blood
    	Apply Quik Stop to nail
    	Send blood to lab in California
    	Within 2-4 weeks you'll know what sex your bird is.
    My vet charged me $50.  Now I am doing it myself.  Lab costs are $35.
    Plus....you can use regular mail instead of having to FedEx (as in
    feather sexing).
    Plus....the kits don't have a limited shelf life (as in feather
    sexing).
    
    And.....You don't have to yank out a blood feather.
    
    The vets all love it so much that they are refusing to surgically sex.
    
    It's about time.
