Hello to all!

dirtybirdy · Dec 3, 2016

Glad I finally made it! Both Nicky (my yellownape Amazon) and I are sort of senior citizens and it takes a bit longer to navigate. We live in southeastern Ohio in the hills - very rural. Our family consists of 3 dogs, 5 cats, 1 horse (also senior) and 1 goat. I'll pass over my age, but Nicky is 28 and we've been together since he was 4 months old. Both of us tend to be arthritic

. Nick is on Meloxicam right now - I'm hoping there's someone on here who has experience using that with birds. So . . . happy to be part of a new family - a bird family!!!

Hello and welcome! I'm originally from WVA, so we would almost have been neighbours

I have a senior Amazon as well, but she is not on any meds currently. I'm interested to hear how Nick does being on the Meloxicam.
I'm really happy you joined us and I'd love to see pictures of all your babies!

David, you should save that sympathy for where I live

Current temperature here is Brrrr.

Welcome.
Everyone here would love to see pictures.
My yellow nape Bingo is my favorite amazon. He has given me some of my best scars. LOL

Welcome to the forums, thanks for joining!

I've had birds use Meloxicam for short-duration post-surgical issues, but never long-term. If your vet is avian-certified, the promise of such therapy is probably well justified. May have to do some questioning or research to determine whether any long-term side affects exist.
