I'm sorry to hear about poor little Joseph. I don't think many vets would use anesthesia on such a little bird either, but I suppose he thought it was worth trying. :wub: I hope Mary likes her new boyfriend. Are you going to introduce them in a neutral area? I would do this so Mary doesn't feel too territorial. :)

You really wouldn't imagine a bird to survive after a broken hip and knee. :( but wonderful that it was all sorted 2.gif

Black Headed Caique, Black Cheeked Lovebirds, Goldfinch and Linnet Mules I live in London	You are right Hayley; Chris Hall's Vets in Sheen (Richmond) would not operate on Spike as parrotlets are tiny; they only numb them with a gas for a quick xray or something but not for a lenghty operation, they do not survive them. sorry to hear the bad news about Joseph yellow1 Stef
