Once a month, we have check up day. We get weights and make a whole body check... feathers, nails, vent area. The birdies have learned to accept this invasion of their personal space, with some grumbling (Buddy) and some downright displeasure. (Mocha)

So, after the tiels, we come to Buddy...with Milton watching intently...

Me: (after weighing Buddy- 136g) Let's look under your wings, Buddy...

Buddy: "grumblegrumblegrumble"....

I complete the "once-over" on Buddy, who continued to grumble the whole time. I put him back on the arm of the chair...he then pooped...right on the paper underneath him...

Milton: "BIRD POOP...DAT GOOD"...

Me: Yes, Buddy pooped on the paper...

Milton: 'DAT GOOD BIRD...I A PRETTY PRETTY BIRD!"

Buddy: "SQUWAKSQUWAKSQUAWK!"

Milton: "SHUT UP GOOD BIRD...I POOP NOW"...

Milty then poops....I pick him up and do his "check up" without further incident.

They do make check up day interesting...;)

...weights are good, nails OK, no lumps or skin problems, and all vents are dry...and no human blood-letting...;)

I am certainly happy it's only once a month...

There's only one time we ever found something. Many years ago, we discovered a fatty tumor on a tiel of ours...Ziggy. We found it when it was very small, and our AV had an easy time removing it...
