San Diego, August 17, 2010: Our conure friends had their first medical checkup. The more than 1 hour long drive to Dr. Coward’s animal and bird clinic in Mission Viejo was a little boring for the birds. But, we learned a lot about bird health and got a confirmation from a real expert that our birds were not only happy, but healthy, too! This video shows them on one of their favorite human perches just before the exam. The outcome: Both received an A++ on their general health — Yet another example of what love, good food & water, regular activity, and companionship can do for you and your pet!

P.S.: Though I never thought that we’d share our lives with pet birds, we love it. But, like any committed guardianship, the role of ‘bird parent’ certainly isn’t for anyone who can’t spare the time and attention.
