diabetes

Is it possible to test a birds glucose like. How a human uses the finger. Sticks? Instead cut the. Nail to short go get a drop of blood froom the. Bird and use the finger strips?

This may sound naive if you know a bit about common budgie illnesses, but this is actually news straight from my vet :wideyed: I was very surprised to hear this, especially after the vet told me that she's never met a diabetic budgie before (and only a handful of diabetic parrots in general)...
