Going to the vet

Today,I have to take Cheeseball to the vet to have his beak trimmed.I hate having to do it ,but it would be easy for him to break it by accident.He always has a hard time forgiving me ,but he does(eventually). Having to take any pet to the vet is a bit traumatic but birds are so different.
They are much more fragile than most pets and require special handling.There isn't a real avian vet locally,but we found one who has some experience and is willing to listen and learn. A rare trait with most people.
The picture is Tweety,a 12 year old budgie.Tweety came to live here when his people got 2 large birds,and couldn't keep Tweet out of their cages.He is so tiny he fits between the bars of the large cages so he was in great danger.He is just not afraid of anything.A very busy little guy with quite a vocabulary but hard to understand because of the tiny,high pitched voice.
Once again it's winterizing time for the house--OH,JOY
