    How to file a beak?

    I am such a wimp when it comes to my birds. When Nugget needed his beak trim, I took him to the vets. Cost me 20 bucks and was done within secs. Less stress for me and Nugget lol

    Underweight 6 year old Buff Hen

    The Avian Specialist called me this evening and based on her numbers and that they felt a *lump* on her they believe she has cancer. We had some options such as surgery, meds etc but Lucy is 6 years old. We are going to spoil her and love her and when I think it is time we will euthanize her.
