    About this ebook

    What I have done is combined two of my articles to create the eBook. 

    I start off with section 1 (Cockatiel Genetics) that covers basic the basic points of genetics. In gaining this knowledge it will be your cornerstone to understanding when you pair up your Cockatiels for better results. This will take some of the guesswork out of 'Why' things didn't go as expected. All the information in Section 1 will be very helpful when you would like to know the sex of your Cockatiel. Section 2 (Sexing Cockatiels) covers the various techniques that were used prior to DNA. This eBook is photo rich in visual and teachable illustrations. Each section complements the other in supportive information. Shown are many Pre-DNA era methods that can still be used and have been proven reliable. The downside of using DNA Sexing is that only thing you will learn is the sex of the bird. What you will not learn is that with each mutation there are several clues to gender. The first step is to learn what to look for. Your eyes are your most essential tool.  this eBook shows and explames what to look. for.  regardless of if you are a pet owner or breeder there comes a time if someone asks you the gender of your bird you can answer and explain how you know.  that is called Pay It Forward with whan you have learned.  Plus you saved the $20-25 DNA cost and you can spend that back on your bird.
