Bird Pedigree App for Breeders
Pedigree only stays useful if it's accurate several generations deep, and that's exactly where a hand-kept pedigree chart usually breaks down — a chick's parentage typed once, copied wrong, or never updated when a mutation status is confirmed later. Pakhal is a bird pedigree app that builds lineage from the breeding records you're already keeping, so it can't quietly drift out of sync, and every ancestor's mutation and split status stays attached to the record it belongs to.
Pedigree that builds itself from breeding records
When a chick is hatched from a clutch you logged, its sire and dam are set automatically from the pair it came from — there's no separate pedigree form to fill in, and no chance of typing a parent's ring number wrong.
Lineage that goes back generations, not just one
A bird's pedigree page shows its ancestry across multiple generations, not just its immediate parents, so you can trace where a mutation or a bloodline actually came from further back.
Mutations and split status tracked per ancestor
Visual and split (carrier) mutations are recorded against every bird individually, including species-specific detail some breeders need to track precisely — like a Fischer's Lovebird's B1 or B2 status — so a pedigree shows what each ancestor actually carried, not a guess.
A relatedness check before you pair
Before you commit two birds to a pairing, Pakhal checks recent generations on both sides and flags it if they share ancestry — the same information a pedigree chart is meant to give you, surfaced automatically instead of traced out by hand.
Export a pedigree as a PDF
Any bird's pedigree can be exported as a PDF with your aviary's details on it — useful when a bird is sold and its buyer wants a record of its lineage, or simply to keep a printed copy alongside your other paperwork.
Unpairing never rewrites a chick's pedigree
If you split a pair later or re-pair a bird with someone else, none of that changes the pedigree already recorded on chicks that pair already produced — lineage, once set, stays exactly as it happened.
Honest about what's confirmed and what isn't
Not every ancestor's species or mutation status is known for certain, especially on older or purchased birds. Pakhal records how confident that identification is — confirmed, breeder-reported, or provisional — so a pedigree reflects what's actually known rather than presenting a guess as fact.
Subspecies recorded alongside species
Where it matters for a bloodline, a bird's sub-species is recorded next to its species, not folded into one generic label — so a pedigree can show a more precise lineage than "species only" wherever that detail is actually known.
