Took Taco the 27 yr old Amazon to the avian vet for a checkup. Drew blood to make sure he was healthy, as he does snack on people food from time to time. His diet is mainly ZuPreem pellets, with fresh fruit, and about 20% seeds and nuts. I was worried that he may have high cholesterol. His bloodwork came back great! Normal triglycerides, LDL, and HDL. His VLDL cholesterol was slightly elevated, but she said that's not unusual for healthy Amazons. Yay! Pic of Taco in his day cage (always open)
