Endoscopic Sex Identification in Chelonians and Birds (Psittacines, Passerines, and Raptors)
Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract.
2015 Sep.
Abstract
Despite the advent of DNA probes for sex identification of many avian and some reptile species, clinicians involved with zoos, conservation projects, or breeders may still be asked to perform "surgical sexing." This article describes the practical approach to performing endoscopic sex identification in psittacines and chelonians, including patient preparation, anesthesia, and endoscopic procedure.
Keywords: Bird; Chelonian; Endoscopy; Psittacine; Reptile; Sex identification.
