Ratzy 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Once I took my budgie to a vet to have its ring removed. When we were filling out forms for surgery she asked us what species it was and was it a cockatiel? She didn't even know if it was a budgie! and she couldn't tell what sex my bird was! Can you understand why I need to know if there are any avian vets in my area? Those vets near me don't know a thing about birds and my bird was frantic when she came out!

**KAZ** 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Oh, sorry, I'm a kid. Age has little to do with simply saying what suburb you live in so members can help point you to a local vet so what suburb are you in ? Link to post Share on other sites
