Casey is not impressed with dragonfruit
Mr Shelby doesn't like many fruits, but this one is his absolute favorite! What do you think of dragon fruit? #parrots #petbirds #parrotfeeding
How did you, or how will you, feel when your little squabs take flight and leave the nest? (Human squabs don't have to be your children, maybe just some little nuggets you care about?) #petbirds #aviarybirds #diamonddoves
This little old gentleman is the picture of great health! 2 years ago, I was trimming his overgrown beak. He had warning signs of liver issues, such as lethargy and a swollen abdomen. His new adoptive owners wisely made a diet change and started offering pellets and healthy fresh foods to his diet while eliminating the high fat treats he was eating every day. He's now a very happy and healthy 33 year old cockatiel! #birdnails #petbirds #cockatiel
Paco's vet visit uncovered more issues than anticipated. He's now on heart medication #exoticpetcare #rescueparrots #vetvisit
This is Paco the parrot's x-ray showing just how much damage his little body has endured over the years. The leg on the left suffered a break which healed on its own without veterinary care. The leg on the right is very bowed and deformed His wing and leg joints have a lot of arthritis as well as his feet. He also has scoliosis and a general shortening of his body. One of his shoulders and upper wing bone also appears to have had a break that healed. There is no way to know exactly how old he is, but the vet was able to say with confidence said he is at least in his 30s and likely much older but with his body worn this much it's hard to use conventional methods to estimate an age for him accurately. This was an expensive vet visit today and unfortunately, will not be his last. In addition to the obvious skeletal issues, Paco also has a moderately enlarged heart, very congested arteries, arrhythmia, and a moderately enlarged liver. He was sent home with medications and the instructions to keep doing what we are doing with his diet and supplementation. #pacotheparrot #petbirds #rescueparrot #exoticpetcare
