Shaun Roper, [13 Apr 2025 at 19:49:40]: Does anyone have some advice regarding DNA sampling on flamingos? I need a lab that I can contact. Gareth Hunter, [13 Apr 2025 at 21:58:57]: Hi Shaun. We generally use MDS in Durban and have been happy. We usually send a blood spot sample, but I think you can send blood in EDTA as well. https://www.mdsafrica.net/veterinary-tests/avian/ I think Vet Diagnostix down in the Cape also does Avian DNA sexing.

The client wants to determine the biodiversity of his birds that are on exhibit in an aviary.
