little milly has a clean bill of health!

[sandra902]

big daddy and i took little milly (i decided i liked that spelling better) to the avian vet yesterday and to my relief she has a clean bill of health!

 

they remarked at how lovely her feet were, and the skin under her feathers was great. yes it seems we have another feather-plucker here.

 

her twitches, too, he chalked up to being in the too-small cage with not enough toys.

 

so with the changes we have made for our little gal, we got a big gold star from the vet. now we just have to let time do its work.

 

she was absolutely enchanting and the best little sport you could imagine.

 

big daddy and i marveled at that and postulated as to how HRH would have acted had it been his vet visit...we shudder to think. just the thought of getting him into a carrier makes me flinch. but that will wait for another day.

 

Dr Vet seemed to think after hearing about our flock and how they all came about, that perhaps we had more room than for just the three birds. we had to shut that idea down in a big fat hurry ha ha ha ! i wonder if he put some sort of note on our file and i might be getting a call. but we were very clear that we set our limit at three and there it must stay.

 

do any of you worry about having enough attention to give? sometimes i do even though they are all happy. thinking back i probably felt the same way when my children were small.

 

so it is another bright day at the monkey house!

Thats so good to hear that Milly has a clean bill of health. I know you were worried about Zinc poisoning, so I'm sure you are relieved that the vet was happy with him.

 

I only have the one parrot and I don't think I would ever want more then 2 or 3. As of now I only have time and space for Elmo so no more for me for now.
