Liv have a look here They have crying 1's too!!!

Ha Ha Dr. Rickman was the vet that did Spikes wings On his letter head it says B.V.Sc Which is Bachelor of Veterinary science??

Hi Liv glad to hear of the outcome :hap: Did you see Christo? as he was the 1st vet I seen with Huey...

Yes will do tomorow Yes will post tomorow I will contact the Practice Manager and see what they have to say.. :fear

Thanks for replying Chrysocome, this was a bad clip because Spike pushed open a small door for his seed pot and flew straight to the ceiling bumping his head on it along the way and ended up on top of the ceiling fans as he liked both of them.. :(Laughing out loud): If the fans had of been on this would have been a different story :fear

Hello people of the BBC :hap: Well I'll start my little story here: As many people here know I needed an avian vet a while back for Huey :hap: and asked at a local Vet's to see if they had an Avian vet and was told yes so I said I need to see the Avian vet and made an appointment!!! The person I seen was very good, he asked lots of questions and gave detailed answers.. For my new budgie Spike I thought i would get his wings clipped and made an appointment with the vet (same place) asked to see the same avian vet but he had just gone on holiday, so seen a vet there who I didn't like and when home Spike was FLYING about everywhere the butt head didn't even do the wing clip right :hap: and he was suppose to be an avian vet too!! So anyway I get a letter from the vet a welcome letter okay no problem and then i read the bottom bit with the Doctors names and their qualifications are and find they all have B.V.Sc after their name and only 1 has B.V.Sc. M.V.S. M.A.C.V.Sc, with the help of Google i find out what this means. The last 1 with all the m's in it is the Avian Vet AND that's not the person i seen for the wing clipping also the Avian vet I 1st seen is not even on the list (I hope that either he's new OR/AND they haven't updated their letterhead in a while...

What with the crooked neck from being bent like that!!

Thanks J.B :ygbudgie:

Ha Ha But will you??? No one likes a smarty maesie but i think your right and remember you'll get to my age one day. :(Laughing out loud): :(Laughing out loud): Unfortunately.... yes, I will. Sometimes I already feel beyound my age!!! I know exactly what you mean Have a look at this, Spike went to sleep while I was still talking to him after coming out for tunneling exercisers :(Laughing out loud):

may not need the cliPPing...... That would even be better... :ygbudgie:

Ha Ha But will you??? No one likes a smarty maesie but i think your right and remember you'll get to my age one day. :(Laughing out loud): :(Laughing out loud): How long will this last (a week i hope) just joking..

Thanks Andrew yes that's a perfect description of what's going on

Maesie it makes me dizzy too!!! ha ha To much energy (must be that mashed boiled egg) is there such a thing as budgie calmer :(Laughing out loud): (Laughing out loud).... not that I know of... a cover over the cage, that'll stop him :(Laughing out loud): . At least he'll sleep well tonight. At least he'll sleep well tonight. yeah me too!!!

Maesie it makes me dizzy too!!! ha ha To much energy (must be that mashed boiled egg) is there such a thing as budgie calmer :(Laughing out loud):

That's an understatement and i've only ever dealt with 2

Thanks Indz♥ I'm exhausted all ready :(Laughing out loud):

Hi sunnie pleased with him self yeah he can fly right up to the ceiling not bad for a wing clipped budgie hey... I'll add a video link when it's finished uploading it..

New pics no so good as my camera doesn't have a Macro setting ...But will lend the parents camera on the weekend.. Also Spike gets in his new goodies dish and kicks out all the apple and corn, the same happens to his seed dish too any ideas??

Hi Maesie yes that's what i'm going to do, ring em on Monday and tell them to make the 1st available time when he comes back from holiday and just use that two weeks time to tame him in his cage and get him used to you and your voice. spot on maesie.

Hi Neat Re: Vet I have not long got off the phone, the vet I seen on Wednesday IS an avain Vet and I told them he did the clipping wrong and can I see the avain vet that i seen last time!! no he's gone on 2 weeks holiday could you come back for a re clipp?? So I have made an time 4 Monday afternoon but the more i think about it the less i want to see this particular vet I DON'T like him Also reading some of the F.A.Qs in the bit about wing clipping yes/no shows which are the primary flight feathers and which are the secondary, well I'm not sure looking on Spike but it looks like the secondary or inner flight feathers have been clipped as the outer ones can still be seen :rip:

Thank you Neat :ygbudgie: Thanks too birdluv

Hi Maesie as for toys spike has 2 bells 1 on a long chain and 1 on his ladder, a ball and this time NO mirror and a gun tree branch with leaves on and it was washed first Later I'll get one of those spin around dingle dangle things Silly vet that's not what I was saying Toys that will fill the cage yeah easy to do if your not careful... :sport:

Well my plan was to let Spike settle for 24hrs and them get him out to do tunneling exercises and some step ups if he wanted to... Also I would have closed the dining room door and lounge door had I known he could still fly and not had the whole house open, I do mean fly as there was no fluttering about

Yes thanks I forgot to mention that I put a fresh cuttle bone in :hap: Hi Tracy he WAS quite not any more He's climbing and flying about his cage trying to find that great escape and has tried both seed+water feeders to see if it will work again :(Laughing out loud): Running about squawking when he can't get what he wants to happen!!The frozen corn is a top idea too!! will try some apple(no seeds)..And my vet hmm spike has to go back for free and this time I will see if I can get the 1st Avain vet I seen, also wing clipping should be done as a training aid Yes??
