The absence of sexual dimorphism in juvenile stages and during adulthood for many species of birds makes it difficult or impossible to determine the sex based on the phenotype. The use of molecular markers to determine the sex of birds is a useful tool because it is fast and accurate and also minimizes stress during blood sampling, compared with other invasive techniques that may affect the health or biological stability of the animal.
