Call the bird doctor

I hate seeing my parrot sick. He's such a jolly fellow and is usually the brightest start to the day you can picture. When he gets sick and doesn't seem so chirpy, I feel down all day long. My vet is such a great guy and never thinks I'm being silly when I call him about my parrot not seeming normal. He even does house calls if my parrot is really not feeling great and I don't want to bring him in. If you are looking for a great bird doctor like mine, then keep reading. Birds deserve great care too!
