Introducing Yuri! Ona’s New Sister!

We got the results back. And we are devastated. Yuri is ABV positive

Still figuring things out and talking options with the vet. We are leaning toward keeping her and not letting her and Ona ever have direct contact and practicing good hygiene Hard, hard day. She is already quite bonded to me.

Awe, I’m so sorry. May I ask why they did an ABV test? Is it one they typically do?

Because of her foot. And I also wanted her tested regardless to keep Ona safe. But, her foot issue is from ABV

My husband and I are talking about ways to make it work and keep both safe. I have lots of great resources to help with my avian vet tech friend. It’s really hard and disappointing but we want to give her a good life.

I’m a Patron of The Green Bird Brigade on Patreon. I also follow Jen on Instagram. A lot of people know her bird that went viral, Auggie, the “bacon pancakes” Quaker. She has a parrot rescue in Texas, & has I think nine birds of her own. Her beloved Macaw, Aurora, has AG from ABV. There’s a highlight on her Instagram account that has some useful information regarding it. You could probably also try reaching out to her, if you’d like more info on how she manages the disease with her flock. I’ve spoken with her personally, & have done a consultation with her. She’s a very kind person & is focused on helping people & their parrots.

I am so sorry Loren! How tragic for poor Yuri and your family. I wonder if my budgie Mariah has it because she's had mobility issues, stumbling, falling on her back and being unable to right herself
She recovers at least partially but if she's infected she will possibly infect my entire flock assuming budgies are susceptible.
This infection has not been on my radar screen and perhaps it should be.
Again, my very deepest condolences. I hope little Yuri can enjoy somewhat of a normal life.
