At Genesis, we offer unsurpassed expertise in avian research. Our staff has studied over 200 species worldwide ranging from waterfowl to passerines, in a variety of diverse habitats. Our services have ranged from research on endangered species from various regions of the world to management plans for nuisance birds, such as Quelia damaging needed food crops in the Sahel of Africa. The goal of our research is to assist sponsors in achieving their objectives related to information on the biology and natural history of certain species, to the control of overabundant introduced species, such as the European starling. Whatever the requirement of the research, OECD, EPA, or conservation agencies, we have the expertise to assist with both domestic and foreign projects. We offer our experience in secondary toxicological and repellency studies as well as population modeling and risk assessment for the conservation and protection of endangered and threatened species that may be affected by products being added to the environment.

Consider our track record, reputation, quick reporting time, and development of solutions to problems that potentially impact endangered or endemic bird species. At Genesis we are not only specialists in avian studies, but are noted for development of management strategies or solutions to protect the environment.
