Re: Breeding Question: Goffin Cockatoo

While the best and most accurate method is DNA sexing, clues may exist. Female goffins and other cockatoo species generally have light brown eye irises while the male's are typically black. Females are often smaller, but variation exists.

DNA tests are performed in a lab and require a small blood sample. Collection may be via competent and preferably certified avian vet, or a mail order kit is available if you feel comfortable following DIY instructions.
