Hi Monica and Chuck,

Being out in the boonies it must be hard to find an avian vet that is local?  
Course local to you guys might mean Omaha or Sioux City ...
What I liked most about watching our young AG grow up -- was watching her 
mistakes.  I had thought a parrot was born with climbing grace.  Not so for 
our baby.  She learned it ... sometimes the hard way ... heh.  She made some 
real big boo-boo's.  Like climbing our brick wall to the ceiling and then 
realizing she couldn't get down (she didn't have flight feathers yet).  Many 
times she would get stuck in her cage where the only way out of her 
predicament was to drop to the bottom of the cage.  She often would step back 
to a nonexistent perch and fall off of her perch.  We worried about her, but 
she kept bouncing back like nothing ever happened.  A real tom boy.  Fun 
watching once we realized she wasn't getting hurt.
