We are flabbergasted at how many vets will look at We are flabbergasted at how many vets will look at a bird and say "they look great" without blood work, xrays, etc. The blood work pictures we took shows how important it was to do it. The outside of the bird is only a small part of the routine exam. We respect veterinarians and what they do. However, we think some don't understand the complexities of treating prey, species specific, non mammals. Avian medicine is a distinct and very specialized field that requires extensive training, advanced skills, and facilities specifically designed and equipped to treat and hospitalize birds. We do NOT have any practicing board certified avian vets in Georgia registered with AAV.org. Due to the constant work in research on parrots, the information is also evolving. We need our vets keeping up with that information or even leading the push for better information. That is a lot to ask for. Meanwhile, what are we to do? We do have avian experienced vets. Develop a relationship with a vet that gets to know your bird. Then get an avian certified vet that is out of state in either TN, AL, FL, VA, or NC. You have an immediate vet and an oversight avian vet that gets a referral from your immediate vet so they are working together. We have Dr. Graham, ABVP in Huntsville, AL with Huntsville Veterinary Specialists & Emergency. She has made such a difference in our level of care. We have seen the proof. If you haven't, check out another certified vet if you are lucky to have them in your state. Our vets of record are: and Dr. Julia Hill, DVM at For Pet's Sake and Dr. Adams, DVM at Hollyberry Animal Hospital.
True statements are as follows: 1. Toys are not o True statements are as follows: 1. Toys are not optional 2. If they are not playing with them, they are not doing their job 3. Birdie Box Bird Toys has toys to help teach them to chew, preen, and bite such as the one in this video 4. Yes, they chew them up if they are good toys for them 5. Be careful of toys that have bells (especially colored), or tiny pieces attached, inspect for rust on chains, etc. 6. Take the chains out so they don't hurt themselves 7. You will be happy with the results 8. You will have kindling for a fire 9. They will have been busy even if for 4 to 8 hours (if you got the right size and complexity) 10. No price tag on happy birds
Sending our thanks, gratitude, and love. Thank yo Sending our thanks, gratitude, and love. Thank you. "I believe that if you don't derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don't come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don't feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste." Srikumar Rao
