Many people who have siblings learn from one another and our patient Rubble the cockatiel is no exception. Rubble is learning to whistle from his brother Ringo, who is also a cockatiel (not pictured). Rubble is excited to show all of us what he has learned so far!
People who seek fame want to see their name in lights. But our patient Imi the sulcata tortoise is more than happy to see his name in food! Imi is at home with his family now after recently spending some time boarding with us. Our veterinary assistant Janet says that Imi was very friendly with all of the staff and when it was time for bed he would cuddle up with his big comfy pillow at night. But before bedtime, Janet says Imi would eat an evening meal consisting of grass soaked in water with calcium powder sprinkled on top. Janet and the other staff members would form the grass into different shapes; such as spelling out Imi's name and making hearts in honour of Valentine's Day.
