Yes as far as I am aware.

I think he sends them off to somewhere in the Edinburgh area.

I have no idea of cost.

The vet college would have been Scottish Agricultural College at Auchincruive.

I believe they do preliminary work there and then send samples to Penicuick Diagnostics.

I believe that to be the name but cannot be sure.

It's a long while since I used the service.

I believe they like to have the carcus as fresh as possible---actually they prefer a living bird.

Think it's the Royal Dick, part of Edinburgh University, that you are thinking of, link gives a list of prices, but nothing quoted for birds.

thats where i took mine but that was over 5 years ago tom works from there you can just take it in but they will only tell you what that bird died from if you are haveing prob and want to do a full post mortem you need to take a live bird in they will do all the tests on it there is only so much they can tell you if the bird is allready dead
