Please note:  The cost for this kit includes downloadable instructions and testing service for  ONE bird.
Your documents may include extra materials in case you need them.  If you intend to include extra samples from other birds for testing, please make sure you have prepaid for these services or included payment with the additional samples. If additionals are included without payment, this will delay testing until we can verify which sample should be tested.

Please follow all directions exactly to ensure a clean collection process with minimal risk of contamination. Samples sent with unknown substances attached or included in the sample bags may invalidate results.
