Thought I lost my pup yesterday. Took Connie to the vet for a UTI. Connie is a owners dog. Other people and she gets uncomfortable and tense. The vet and assistant took Connie in the back for a urine sample. It was taking a while but I figured the vet was only one a duty. So the vet comes back and says Connie has a problem. Vet says they were putting Connie on her back for a urine sample(catheter I assume). Said Connie a had a seizure and stopped breathing. They had her on Oxygen and her eyes were dilated. So I spent the next hour massaging my poor dog and talking to her. Slowly over this hour Connie came out of her unconsciousness. Her eyes were wide open and dilated almost the entire time. I was thinking she had a stroke. The vet was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to offer during this time. Connie came out of it finally and she seems just fine today. She is her old self, but the episode was very unsettling to say the least.
So cool. I said here a couple times I almost ended up with parrots from some other people who wanted to will them to me. Unfortunately one died of an unknown illness about a month before I was going to pick it up and the other was killed by a cat which was strange because as far as I knew they said the cat and the bird got along well. It was a tough subject for them so I decided not to ask further questions. What types of birds do you have I’m always amazed by them and their intelligence
Big parrots are something that are best chosen for how they work with you and your environment. This is my second Macaw as I had one several years ago when I lived in Singapore and the two are totally different personalities. I also had an African Grey who was brilliant when I lived in Saudi and he would be here with me now except for a lazy bureaucrat. I haven't given up hope though as I have a mate who is going back there and hoping that we can track him down.
To answer your question as to what we have now.
We have Mango the Macaw..
Peck, Gregory Peck the Parrotlet which are the smallest Parrot breed and he is great company. Peck thinks he is as big as Mango😀
The Gouldian finches which are native to Australia. A little slice of my birth country.
And finally the Budgies or Budgerigars, who are also native to Australia..
We were given three by a friend of my wife's because they didn't want them anymore. The cage on the top of the big cage is what they used to keep them in. I couldn't believe it and immediately had the one they are in now made. The number grew to five and now with the new babies 7 with more on the way. As from tomorrow there residence will more than double as we extend to accomodate the swelling numbers😀
