blood sample

[edthekid]

where do you take bloods from a bird

[Guest bakes]

never had to but would of thought if you spray some alchol onto the pigeon top of the pigeon thigh would be easyer to take a blood sample from there as if you go wrong putting an needle into base of neck you could end up nacking the pigeons up

 

all the best

Thought you took blood from toes or ankles - unless you are a vet - you just 'pinprick' the bird - it depends what you want - DNA is just done from a couple of drops of blood on a supplied 'cotton bud' with a cover

[edthekid]

i watched a vet do this and she took it from under the wing close to the body when moving the feathers apart you can see a vein.

Can take it by clipping a toenail.

DNA easily done from a feather, much easier than blood.
