and salad and nuts and raw carrot and pasta You'll be amazed how much better your diet gets when you cook for him too!

I have no helpful suggestions, but has anyone heard of a product called SuperClot to stop bleeding? I just heard about it this morning and Googled. Its supposed to have a numbing agent also.

Dont use the neosporin until someone else for sure knows if it is safe, I dont know if it is. I know others used a ointment or cream of something before but cant remember what it was. Maybe if you call the vet they can tell you if its safe or not. I hope its just a sore foot from the nail and nothing else.

I have recommended he contact his regular vet just to see if they have any ideas. I've just not heard or seen of this problem before. I'll keep everyone posted. For now, Joy seems to be doing well. From what I hear, he's very sweet and friendly and the vet couldn't believe how tame he was.

I heard about sprout seed before, but I wasn't sure. I will try it, it seems a good transition. One of the seed mix I use has some dried berrys, but I'm unsure if he eats them...I see that dried berries and fruits are also ok. Well I admit it, I have to try harder as well. It seems I will start dining on beans in front of my lovie :-))

be careful with the toe. my tiel had his toe caught in the cage door and cut the skin off it down to the bone (he did it while we were sleeping so we didnt hear anything). if you see the toe start to discolour, the wound start to fester or seep or the bird is in far too much pain or not using the foot well or at all vet straight away! Sere ended up having to have his toe removed but it was worth it because if it hadve healed (which it didnt)...

They grow on you quick!! You have been bitten by the lovie bug!! Now just try to refrain from getting more..not that its a bad thing..but they are like potato chips!! I'm glad Sklyer found a place in your heart & home...let's hope hubby goes for it!

lovebirds are awesome!!! Getting Paulie was the best thing i ever did.............at the moment the thing that makes me laugh about him the most is that he attacks my earings and makes them swing, and then sways along with them on my shoulder, he also like running aroung the top of my head and sliding his feet down constantly!! its like a lovie head massage!! i think you have done wonders with your little one and its just so nice to hear of...

Where on Vancouver Island are you? If you're right in Victoria, I can recommend Glenview Animal Hospital. They are avian certified and are incredible there.
