Successful trip to a new vet

[Jen5200]

Unfortunately I live a couple of hours drive from the closest CAV, so we had been going to a vet who saw birds and consulted with a CAV. I have had a LOT of difficulty getting the birds in to see her when needed - so I finally decided that we were going to find a new vet.

Today I took Baby, Tango and Stanley on a road trip for their well-bird exam with a new vet. I was a bit worried about the long commute (solo with 3 birds) - but they did very well with 4 hours in the car and 2 hours at the vet. So proud of my bubs! Stanley is prone to getting car sick and he did great. Started getting sick 5 minutes from home (on the return trip), so I was able to get him out of the car pretty quickly after he started. The new vet was great - I want to be present during everything and she was very good about accommodating that. The birds behaved very well for her (whew). I got DNA done for them - I’ve always thought that Baby is a girl and Tango/Stanley are boys.....but I will know for sure soon!

Pics attached of them being cute and well-behaved in the exam room

I vote the pineapple GCC is a boy!!!! I hope you do a poll with pics! I couldn't get an idea in the other two.

Pss can you add species to your signature? I can't see the icons very well, so I can't figure out who's who...

I can absolutely add species to my signature . I am curious about their genders too...I always meant to get it done, but now that I’ve added Stanley I feel like I should get it done. There are better pics of everyone in my albums. I did get Bindi and Screamer’s DNA done in the summer and they are both confirmed girls. I’m kind of hoping for a couple of boys to balance the house out a little bit lol

I vote Tango is a girl, Stanley is a boy, and I can’t tell for Baby.

I'm happy to hear you found a CAV that you are happy with Jen..that makes a huge difference (at least to me) to have someone you feel good about.
I am very fortunate that the two docs at the place I take my kids to,are both CAV's and the office is only about twenty minutes away

Today while waiting to see Dr Kristen a young woman was in the waiting room with her Hyacinth Mac It was the first time I was really up close and personal with such a spectacular creature..absolutely gorgeous!! She adopted "Merlin" from a shelter.
