well this has been an interesting day for me to say the least. well anyway i get a call from my mom today letting me know one of her breeder parrots died this morning while at the vet. apparently the male had liver and kidney problems for an estimated time of 6-9 months. my mom only owned these birds for less than 3 months, but she has learned a very important lesson in her loss, do not save a buck when you get new animals always have them checked by a vet. she is out over 2k for the bird alone and now the female is in question now and being checked by the vet and there is nothing that can be done. just a lil rant .
