My vet and I have been friends since we were 8 yrs old. He has owned various birds (including a Minah ? bird), but he does not take bird clients. He has agreed to look at Bubba (how could he not after 38 yrs of friendship?), but he has no idea what the spots could be. I haven't taken Bubba to see the vet yet. Since the spots don't seem to be affecting him, I want to wait until the weather warms a smidge. (And, I've only had Bubba for about a week. I think we could use a little more time to acclimate.)
