If anyone's wondering where I've been, I'm flat out doing work experience. These past two weeks I've been at Burwood Bird and Animal Hospital (Highbury Veterinary Clinic) and loving it. I've been seeing lots of budgies and other types of birds, as well as dogs and cats (of course, my favourite is the first one! ). I just love doing it. My heart is set on this being my career.

Now I've worked with four avian vets and will do another week in a clinical pathology lab specifically for chickens. Things are looking good. I'm intrigued that between vets there are differences in technique and opinion, all with the highest quality of care in mind of course.

So that's just a quick update. My green cheek came with me and the budgies are at home. I've learnt a lot and can't wait to get back home to give all my birds the best.

Straight back to uni next week - for my final year. From here it's twelve weeks flat out lectures/clinics, exams, winter work placements, another semester, more exams, then graduation? Fingers crossed!

I have been wondering how you have been doing and Millie is fairing. You are such a busy busy bee that we miss you but we know you will be back . Good to hear from you and you are having a good time, makes learning so much more easier, look forward to pics in the future, I love seeing them. all.

Thanks for popping in, it's great to see you

Good luck with your upcoming studies and your final exams.

I know how you feel, I just finished my 2nd week of clinical work and still have 2 more to do!

Dude you where just down the road from me! I live up the warrigal end of Highbury rd! You should have let us know and I might have got my act into gear and brought Elmo in for a weigh in!
