Thanks Monica
The specific Lovebird in question is a Lutino and she was trying to get into the nestbox of Daisy. As Daisy had one chick; she obviously defended her nest. Needless to say after this I removed the two breeding boxes and put them into cages. There is one chick in Daisy's box and the other budgie pair has 3 chicks. They are Inos as Mom is a Lutino( Tulip) and the Dad is an Albino(Palecheek). I love my budgies; Lovebirds and the babies are precious!
I've been there myself, and due to my own mistake. I had a cage that *had* to have a solid "seed guard" around the base of the cage, that was flat against the cage itself. The bottom on the sides had holes, for dishes, and the guards kept the dishes in place while also keeping birds in. I never had dishes to use there, but I did use the guards. Unfortunately, the guards were made of glass, and while cleaning the cage one day, I had them all stacked up together and something heavy fell on them and shattered the guards. Instead of replacing them immediately, I put it off and used a temporary, flimsy guard. Well, one of the birds that was living in the cage got out and into my conure's area. My conure, unhappy with an unwanted guest, removed the top of her beak. She was an older bird and didn't survive the next 24 hours.
I immediately stopped using that cage until I was able to get a proper work-around for the guards.
There may be no avian vets in the wild, but it's rare for one parrot to cause *that* much harm to another parrot in the wild. Otherwise, we wouldn't have as many parrots as we do.
It's even tougher when you can't trust the local vets, and at that point, you just have to keep trying and hoping that you can find one that you can trust, or find a vet who is willing to consult with an avian vet for care.
I live in an area that has several veterinarians, and some do treat birds. I've been to three, and of those three, I only trust one. I end up kind of lost without my a-vet when she's out of town or not working and I *need* to take one of my birds to a vet. I end up spending even more money in vet bills because one of the others wasn't helpful.
