The feather test results came back and it's official Winston is a Winston and not a (Winnie). Just a note for anyone living in MS ,Dr. Morris does treat small birds(finches) as well as big birds. He uses to own several pairs . -tam

So Winston it is
How did they do his DNA test with a feather?
Over here they clip the nail, to get a drop of blood and dab it on a card of some sort, then send it away for testing.

It's my understanding that the feather has to be plucked so there is a bit of blood in the end. It's actually the blood that they test and not the feather itself.

Ok, thanks.
Too bad they can't just take a cheek swab, like they do with people.
Open wide....
