Parrot Bird
How much does a preliminary bird exam cost for a parrot.?
I have a white capped pionus who has a vet check up tomorrow and I forgot to ask the price. They are not open today to ask. I just got him and his name is Captain. I was wondering if anyone new the costs of a parrot checkup. Even better if anyone has seen Dr Benoit in Halifax.
Thank you 
You could ask at the desk when you go in just so you wont get sticker shock. You will have to pay for an office call anyhow. Usually any tests cost extra. My vet throws in a nail clip free but wing clips are extra.I suggest you ask the vet what is included in the check up and would he please let you know what is extra as you are not familiar with bird checkups. The vet should do a hands on exam of the bird ,look in his mouth and throat,listen to his heart and look in his eyes.He should give you suggestions or literature on general care. He might want to do a fecal check up for bacterial infections (easy to cure when caught early and not too expensive.) Any other tests can be discussed or postponed if money is a problem. They should also weigh your bird. I suggest you take a notebook with your questions written down as i can totally guarantee you will forget 95% of them if your bird is screaming or escapes in the office.and you are trying to talk to an unfamiliar vet. Good Luck. I have a white capped pionus. Nice bird.

I am looking for a Parrot or Bird, and don't no what is right for me, any help?
I don't have a whole heck of a lot of room, and don't won't to spend more than 200 on the bird.
Here's a good site about choosing parrots. At the bottom there is a chart which tells you a bit about them and their qualities:

Here's another good one:

Go to your local petshop and ask how much they are. Tell them you don't want to spend more than 200 on it and you have a small home and other things and they will tell you which is the right parrot for you. It's their job to know the characteristics about the species so ask them for advice. Here's some suggestions: Parakeets, Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Quakers or Conures. It's best to get them when they're babies because they will bond with you better. And make sure you hold them at least once a day so they get used to you and your hands. And don't forget parrots need lot of attention and care.
