Stereotypical Scarlet -- No Way !

Elliot had his first avian vet appointment this morning with me as his new momma. He hasn't come home yet - waiting on his cage (sigh).

He was unbelieveable ! Even the vet could not believe how good he was. This avian vet I took him to is phenomenal. He spent at least an hour with me talking about macaws and the "Scarlets", their needs, full examination - wing and toe trim (no blood work yet) He said it's too stressful to do both at the same time, so that's our next visit in 2 weeks.

When he toweled him, he aack'd twice and that was it! No fussing, no biting, no carrying on. He even stepped up on the vet and just hung out. I've been given the gift of an angel bird.

He's a healthy boy. He's ready to come home. He talked with me about his wing issue - he has a birth defect where he cannot extend his right wing fully - exercise - you name it. I can hardly control myself I'm so excited.

I already have my little terror a.k.a my little pterodactyl - Newton. He's a handful.

Thats great news! He is still a baby, they are always sweet. Let us know as years go on if he remains this sweet. If he does, you got the angel of scarlets for sure, I do hope he stays this way!!!!!!! I too will be very jealous

Just curious, who's your vet in Orlando? Your baby is awfully cute by the way. I saw him a month ago-ish at Chief's Bird Cabin when I stopped by to get some toys. Bet you can't wait until he comes home!
