  5. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
    Go to who ever is nearest that has at least some experience of birds after that can always ask them to consult with an avian specialist
  6. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    Done that, theey wern't willing to even look because they had 0 experiance in birds
  7. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:

  10. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    I called all the ones within an hour drive!
  11. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
    :oops: blimey!
  12. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    Yeah...They either tried to pass me to another vet or just said they don't cover birds, theres potentially one up in louth but they arn't a specalist and again theree was one in Bourne but they are gon
  13. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    There used to be one in peterborough but no idea if they are still about
  14. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
    Sarah Pellet went to Peterborough apparently but that's near two hours, my vet from louth is an hour and 45
  15. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
  16. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
    she's the one that the macaw lady has used and recommends very highly
  17. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
    hour and a half from Louth plus is ruddy good with birds
  18. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    Yeah, just gotta...persuade the parents to actually get me up there, no viable public transport to get there
  19. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    No bus and I doubt Boston > Grantham > Middle of peterborough is going to do much to help keep her calm
  20. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    Also I can't do anything till at least monday...9-5 job and all
  21. DizzyBlue @ DizzyBlue:
    Your going to have to try sort something out cant leave her in pain for that long. See at least if there are any saturday morning appointments available
  22. ChristineW @ ChristineW:
    Try contacting the National Parrot Sanctuary at Friskney (South Lincolnshire) www.lincswildlife.com/residents-parrots I am sure they would know of a good vet, last time we visited they had about 2000 parrots!
  23. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    Welp just found out my parents are going to refuse me taking them to the vet because "shes still using the claw fine"
  24. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    @ChristineW if thats the place I think it is, I did speak with them, they use a non specalist in louth
  25. Keiichi18 @ Keiichi18:
    OK just so people don't worry, Vert's leg got checked out...its fine she just managed to nick it and make it bleed...some time ontop of the cage after we got back and shes back to normal
