Questions and Answers

The Birdsafe Giardia test kit is a 3-day fecal trichrome test kit that we have set up in conjunction with a well-known avian/exotic laboratory. This kit includes what you need to collect three fresh poop samples and send to a clinic for testing. The test will cost $45, which you send with your samples directly to the clinic.The $3.00 charge for the kit covers 1st Class Postage and materials for the kit. The Birdsafe Store DOES NOT make money on giardia test kits. If you order this with other items, it will ship separately for safety. Can only be shipped to addresses in the United States.

feather picker

after discussing various feather picking products, Joe educated me on Giardia and recommended a test kit...he makes no profit on the test, and his only interest is for the health of our birds. I know a local bird store in my area would have sold me a bunch of products. Which if the test is negative I will happily purchase, as I continue my quest to help my poor baby stop this behavior.

giardia test kit

the kit arrived quickly, and the instructions were very thorough and helpful. Because I have a lorikeet, I found using a sterile 1cc syringe (without a needle) to collect the samples was infinitely easier than the other tools provided.

Q: DO I need one kit per bird that I own? does one kit test one bird only once?

Asked by: mila - 6/11/2017

A: Yes, you would want to know what each bird tested for - positive or negative, so you need to keep them separate. The only exception would be if you are testing a "flock" of smaller birds, such as budgies or finches that are caged together and if one tested positive, then all would be treated. Please consult your avian vet.

Q: You sell the kit but do you sell the mediciation if the bird has the parasite giardia?

Asked by: Michele Brulee - 9/20/2017

A: That is correct, because we believe that if your bird needs treatment it should be done with your avian vet.
