How to tell sex of a quaker besides dna testing?

I have a 2 year old Quaker that I would love to find a mate for. Is there anyway to tell its sex besides dna testing?How to tell sex of a quaker besides dna testing?There is no way to tell just by looking at the outside appearance of the bird if that's what you're hoping for. Quaker's sex can only be determined by DNA or surgical vent sexing.



Is your Quaker hand tame and bonded to you? If so, understand that getting another quaker may change his/her personality. Or, it may not accept another quaker. If you want to keep your quaker friendly towards you should consider keeping separate caging, and allow play time outside of their cage. I'm sure you've done your research, but also know that it is recommended that your new buddy should be quarantined in a different room from your current Quaker for 30 days.



Oh yeah, I also suggest http://www.quakerparrots.com It has a lot of good information on quakers and there's also a forum with many experienced owners to answer quaker questions. :0)How to tell sex of a quaker besides dna testing?why do you need to know the sex to get it a friend?

DNA sexing is the only way to be 100% sure.

If you want a "mate" as in for breeding you should have DNA testing done on both birds anyway to make sure they are free from disease and viruses. Sexing can be done at the same time.



If you want the same sex so that they DON'T breed, again you need testing to be sure.
