Pshaw!!     Do they get to sleep in in the morning?   Do you cover
their cage so it's dark in there?  :)     Your bird is 10 years old,
healthy and active; what more could you ask for?     Birds are so
sociable....seems it would be worse to move her from her normal
environment and cut down on the family time.
You know your birds better than your vet does.   ;)
