Bird Express



Since our bird vet is about an hour away, we like to economize. So, when our parrot, Buddy, needs to go in to get checked, Amanda brings her bird, Doc, who was rescued from our property, and Christina brings her bird, Amelia, as well. Doc is a blue-headed conure and Amelia is a Hahn's Macaw. If you are going to be traveling a while with three parrots, it's important to bring lots of snacks (for the birds, a.k.a. bribes) as well as some ear plugs.



This is Amelia in her travel cage. All birds got checked and also a wingy/beaky/pedi. Rumor has it on the way back a couple of french fries were slipped in, too. Spoiled birds? Never!
