This was taken by my cell phone in Bird Barn pet store, Lincoln Road, Henderson.
However, my little Louis was weighed and measured by the vet. He weighs 60 grams which is the heaviest budgie she has ever seen, so he is now on a strict diet of Harrisons Formula only.
Plus she cut his toe nails and told me now he is older. That cage he lives in must be scrubber with vinegar once a week but he needs a bigger cage, now he is an older bird.
Louis was kept for a while for a blood and fetal test. The blood and fetal test was Ok. They told me to put him on painkillers for a while and see him next tuesday. I learned to hold Louis and give him painkiller medicine with a syringe. The nurse instructed me in a clipped voice and told me off ,but I am confident with Louis now I have had practice at home..
Yesterday I made measurements on how much bigger is possible and it was like everything fell into place at Bird Barn in Henderson.
I have a new cage more next time.
I want Louis a quick recovery to be happy with the Louise and her prudent owner
Thanks Lado for your kind comments
I hope that Luis will soon be better as he has a wonderful carer ?
Well, I do my best and I am not a wonderful housekeeping. He seems to be happy with his new cage.
The vet nurse and vet were really grumpy
Such sweet colorful cuties! I hope Louis is okay!
Louis seems OK, not too pleased with me especially as I must give him medicine for pain relief. He still talks which is good.
Thanks so much for your kind comments.
I learned a lot from your post. Glad you are taking care of him.
Thanks Carol, very kind of you to say so.
I have a canary. I think they need big cells because space is of great importance for their development.
Yes, that is true Elenka, thanks for your comment
great picture. I didn’t realize you had to change cages as they got older. I guess I am so used to dogs I forget other creatures can’t just take their space!
Thanks for your comment, space is important to all people.
It is, I learned from your post that birds need more as they grow, cool!!!
He is so pretty, good to hear you got a new cage for him!!
