Parrots, including the popular budgerigars and cockatiels, are commonly kept pets. When acquiring a new or an additional parrot, there is a risk that the bird may suffer from a chronic disease and that infectious agents may be introduced into the flock. BattLab offers PCR profiles for parrots and parakeets, which cover the most common infectious agents and, optionally, include genetic sex determination.
