Hey team, especially those with A.V. friends........I just received a call from a buddy that has some birds out back. He recently got home from a trip a few days ago and said he found a proven pair of Vos Ekkies in the nestbox - dead. They have eggs in there too.
.............
He just got the results of the necropsy from the most expensive A.V. in town and the conclusion, without further testing, was Sarco...... Vet said it was transported from oppossum droppings into birds food. My friend asked if it could have been flies that did the transporting of Sarco and the vet said no, as far as he knew only roaches? Does anyone know the reasoning behind why flies or other insects can't transport it. A pair of Lories were found dead at the bottom of their cage by his caretaker only a week before.
...Those were not necropsied.....He has opossum traps out now and has put some granules of something around cages, I forgot name of granules
.
Another question, eggs haven't been sat on since probably Thursday and he tells me just now. He thinks they are probably no good, anyone ever have a case where eggs lasted this long. Our temps at night are still in the seventies........ Could they possibly still be good? I will go over and get them and put in my incubator if any chance.
