I was NOT refering to the boarding situation.  However, as you have
mentioned this it does bring up a good point.  I don't go along
with that either.  My point is the PET BIRDS AT THE RECEPTIONIST DESK.
Those pet birds that are in the waiting room, in the labs....this
is a dangerouns way of making Immune defecit psittacine a target for
an unknown lurking virus/bacteria that the pet bird may of picked
up from the "patient bird" .
A nursery in the hospital is an ideal place for a human baby ....but
that is not the place of babysitting.....the same for a Avian
Doctor of Medicine.  Why in the world would anyone take a bird to
a place where all sorts of illnesses walk into the place?  Boarding
is not at the vets office unless a medical assistance is needed.
What do you think is in the next room?  a healthy bird?  WHy is the 
doctor a doctor if he/she is a baby sitter of healthy birds?
