stclerk Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Everyone, Alfie is doing great he flies to my wife's head:woohoo: and has stopped crash landing as much as he was. I have booked Alfie in to the Vet for a microchip to be inserted. Has anyone taken their Parrot for this procedure and what was the reaction if any? Steve:)
siobha9 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 No sorry I havent. They dont do that on birds here yet. Let us know how it goes though won't you?
lovemyGreys Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Steve two of my greys are chipped,one bleed a little but nothing to worry about,they both were back home & playing as normal within minutes of being let out of their carriers.Im sure Alfie will be fine.Good luck.
judygram Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Glad to hear that Alfie is perfecting his flying skills and I have thought about microchipping but I don't think I am gonna do that.
BMustee Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I have not chipped Elmo but if they come out with the GPS chip I'll do it in a heartbeat.

BMustee Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Do you know when/if those are coming out. I've heard people talk about them but nothing about when they will be available.
Broomer Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Not a clue. The one I have seen online recently was 17mm by 22mm ... a tad big for our lil' birdies. :blink: Good for a dog though.

Christina Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Finnigan is chipped. She had no adverse reaction to it whatsoever. She was playing and eating fine as soon as I took her home. Of course, she did get her favorite treat for being a good girl...french fries. Yum!
stclerk Posted September 6, 2008 Author Posted September 6, 2008 Hi everyone, Alfie had the chip inserted last night with no problems whatsoever. The Vet asked that he be kept in his travel cage for a couple of hours following the procedure as wing flapping can cause the chip to fall out, other than that all is fine and he is now playing as usual. Steve
danmcq Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Thats good news Steve! I am glad all went well and there are no apparent after effects. Atleast you have the knowledge now that if your grey ever became lost, the possibility of being found and returned is greatly increased. :-)
