Pictures Amarillo is finally home!

[jmfleish]

Amarillo got to come home Monday night and is doing very well. We had to put her in an e-collar because she wouldn't leave her stitches alone and she initially hated that but has gotten used to it. Iris was so happy to see her but isn't happy that we're caging her but we need to monitor her pooping and eating. She goes back in on tomorrow for a quick wound check and then we wait for her to heal for two to three weeks before they try to go back in for the egg. I found her munching away on the bark of a new basswood platform perch I put in her cage to make it easier for her to get from one side of the cage to the other. I think she's doing pretty well if I do say so myself!

She looks really good. I expected to see missing feathers from her op but she looks great and happy to be home.

Yep, you wouldn't know she's had anything done to her or that she's carrying around the mega mystery egg. She seems to be acting like her happy little self too. I'm quite certain that this is my golden child! Jon wants to trade her in for some gold. We still don't even know what the bill is! Maybe they won't charge us! LOL!

Great to see her looking so perky!

She's such a pretty girl. She looks like she's feeling better. Wishing her all the best! Hang in there Mom, I know how hard this is.

.Ami you are looking great. Don't give mom too hard of a time

I'm glad you got her back home. That must have been nerve wracking. I've had lots of birds lay eggs and nobody ever had that kind of problem. All those adhesions certainly make you wonder what her past life was like.

 

[Patty Girl]

What a pretty girl she is! And yes, she really looks quite chipper!! Best wishes to her.

 

[Sarahmoluccan]

She looks good, home sweet home.

 

[Wasabisaurus]

She is just gorgeous. I love her eyes. So glad she's home.

Is that a sandy perch she's on? How does she like it?

 

[Lady Jane]

Nice to see her home. It must help lower stress for everyone. Hope the doc says "no charge"

 

[schnitzle]

Really great news!

 

[BlueAbyss]

She is such a beauty! Glad she is doing better.

Yes, I really do wonder what the first 11 years were like for her. I wonder if she's always had an egg problem and maybe they've had to remove them in the past. I guess I'll never really know. We had her previous owner's vet name but I don't remember it. I could go back and ask Tanya or Theresa again and see if they can remember. It might be worth a shot but at this point I don't know if it matters. I can't imagine that she was poorly treated as her disposition is just so unbelievably sweet. I'm just glad that she's doing so well. I'm terrified to have to go through another surgery but the egg has to come out. I'm hoping that, now that we know what we are dealing with, that it might be a little easier to target the egg and go in and get out but I know it's still a very risky surgery. They will be giving her an implant and hopefully we will never see another egg in her and she will live a long and healthy life. She is definitely my golden birdie child!

It's the sand walk sandy perches, the really light ones with the plastic cage attachments. I find those to be the most effective for nail trimming although some of my birds will just chew them apart! She doesn't seem to mind it although, with the cone of shame she's wearing, she doesn't have much of a choice on where she stands! LOL! She has that perch and then a platform perch that's attached to the door and then another wooden perch on the other side. I have one of those sandy perches for just about every cage I have...some of them I have to do more of a heavy duty sandy perch as the birds will just demolish it...

Wouldn't that be amazing but I have a feeling there will be a hefty fee...one of which I'm more than happy to make Jon pay for!

 

[Aubrey]

I'm glad she's doing so well and is her happy self

How's little miss going today? Poor little girl looks like Binky. Binky can fly in one of those.
