My girl is doing very well, I really cannot find a vet that specializes with my bird most exotic vets around me state they have never seen one in person. I had to change her 1st vet because we did not see eye to eye on her diet and she swore up and down all eclectus's have a blue ring around they eye. When she said that i knew she didn't know there are various types of eclectus's.
Anyway about 2 hours from me the exotic pet store i purchased my conure from referred me to a vet that deals with many exotic parrots. I was very comfortable going in he was very knowledgeable about her and offered some great tips; but then, i seem i didnt pay close attention to this 1st time form i filled out that talks about anesthesia it was amll print back of the page..anyway i have never seen a bird put under and within and instint he was holding her and on the back table was this hose, yes he put her under did her grooming. I was scared seriouslly he didnt ask me to do that, and when i questioned him he said it was normal to put a medium to large parrot under to do grooming... Okay is this true.. My conure has never been put under ever for grooming..and now i dont know if i want to continue using him even if i felt comfortable at 1st what irrrrkkkkked me was putting her under without asking and maybe i am wrong but putting her under for grooming just doesn't seem correct to me. Am i over reacting is it normal. She is not a mean bird she even loves blankies I got her used to blankets and she lays on her back , she even gives you her foot and u can clip her nails.
