Take Samples
Pull 2 feathers from the bird with one swift motion and place them in the bag or envelope labeled for that bird.
You must pull feathers from the bird, do not pick feathers up off the ground.
For small birds like finches, we require two primary feathers. For medium sized birds like conures or rosellas, two secondary flight or tail feathers are sufficient. For large birds like cockatoos or macaws you may wish to take breast or back feathers.
