Our new parrot has seen the vet today. The vet said the ferrets could kill the parrot, so guess my guess was wrong. Have been reading about parrots and didn't realize that a vets office will board a bird, this is a new one for me. To find a bird sitter, thought we would have to place an ad in the newspaper. Now that I know vets will board, this is a life saver. Just wanted to share this encase anyone needed to know. Both species won't be out at the same time. We do plan to introduce the two thru the bird cage at a later date. Just encase one of us does forget to lock the bird cage. As far as we can see, she/he, lol, ok she is now a he. Encase the bird gets on the floor, we might not have to worry so much. Debbie [Posted in FML issue 3482]
