1They can either do it with a blood sample or with feathers (freshly plucked by you). You will need a minimum of 5 feathers.

6DNA testing is very simple, quick and cheap. ($20 for blood, $25 for feather) All you need to do is clip a nail short for a few drops of blood on a test card, or to pluck a few chest feathers and send it in. You usually can have results emailed to you in just a few days, with a certification card coming in the mail a few days later.
I personally prefer the feather method to blood or having my birds surgically sexed. Hurts them less than clipping the nail short enough to bleed (hurts you like heck when you get a nail short enough to bleed doesnt it? as opposed to a quick pull of a few hairs on your head?) and is usually cheaper and much less invasive than surgically sexing ( which has to be done by a certified avian vet).

7Whoever told you that lied to you. Greys can be surgically sexed, just like every other bird. If you decide to have a DNA sexing done (takes longer, costs more, but is very slightly safer for the bird) they take a few feathers
