I'm really nervous about it, but trying to keep an open mind. Even if he has PBFD he will be a good role model for the regulation/banning of import/export for resale. I am lucky to have traced his origins back, but others may not be so lucky. They may never know something is wrong until their bird has died of acute PBFD or begins to show symptoms of chronic PBFD.
He has some dodgy powder down feathers that make me nervous. Some excessively long ones around his rump area that stick out of his feathers and some small curved pinfeather type ones around his head. But Galahs and cockatiels can live a long happy life with the disease and don't go bald and die the same way a white cocky does (thank you who ever mentioned that, I looked it up and got more specific info).
I'm waiting, waiting for the tests to come back... I am so much praying for a good outcome... *HUGS*
