DNA Genetic Mutation Testing

If you’re a buyer looking to purchase a bird with a hidden mutation, always request a DNA Mutation Certificate from the seller. The market is rife with scams, where birds are falsely advertised as splits when they are not. Never pay extra for a bird being sold as a “Possible Split”, chances are it is not. With DNA Genetic Mutation testing, breeders of mutations will test there offspring to identify “splits”. DNA testing for non-visual parrot mutations (splits) is now available with 100% accuracy. This advanced test enables breeders to identify carriers of hidden mutations, providing a valuable tool to enhance breeding programs and accelerate the production of visual mutations in future generations.

Given the substantial investment in developing these tests, pricing reflects the need to recover costs. To ensure fairness, the cost is result-based: a higher price for a positive result and a lower price for a negative result. When ordering a Mutation Test, you will be charged the positive result fee until results have been confirmed. When tests show a negative result, the cost difference will be reimbursed within 48hrs.
