This is certainly all right. But: wouldn't it have been up to the parents to inform themselves (together with their daughter, of course) about the keeping and especially about the nutrition of this bird species? I would certainly have given this to the father to think about, so that such mistakes would not happen again later, for example, when another child is to have a pet.

@@parrots4life74 A bird needs a cage that its able to climb around in and stretch its wings. That cage, if the main one, is way too small. Now, if the bird is out during the day and only in the cage at night, I would say its okay, but still not ideal. I own 5 birds, all of their cages are big. I don't have large birds either. 2 lovebirds, a sun conure, a bare-eyed cockatoo, and a male eclectus. my eclectus' cage alone is taller than me and i'm 5 foot 6. Makes me very sad when people don't do their research before getting a bird. Eclectus, for example, cannot live on seeds. The diet of seed only would kill them faster than any other parrot there is. They have to have fresh vegetables and fruit, and a side of pellet. All my birds are on fresh produce with a side of pellet, they get no seeds at all, except for sunflowers, and that's only like 3 or 4 once a month.

Poor Riley, such a trooper! I know I'd be carrying on way more than that poor croc lol

I was shocked how the bird cage looks...it was empty...I have two birds before, we love them like family, I give them anything I can, -my first bird was sick wen I get him and I was taking him to see the wet so many times..-fresh fruit, veggies, but unfortunately they not leave more than six years...I was devastated when they past...I can’t believe it the the parent let this little girl do what she’ wants with this poor little bird..Need toys, stimulation and my birds always out of the cage when I was home. And fly...

Wow! The power in Betty is astounding. The way Bill was straining and holding on for dear life...

I wonder how old these episodes are, I am going to have to look into it, but I just read an article that Betty died back in 2016, she was 20 years old. RIP

This episode came out June 18, 2016. So this actually came out right before she passed.

I thought the same thing about needing a larger enclosure when they checked the alligator snapping turtle during another episode. The turtle is massive and the display was so small he could barely move and they had to lift the angry enormous beast up over the walls to get him in and out. It seemed very difficult. I think he had just out grown his orginal space and they hadn't up graded him. I hope they did eventually.

The cage might have only been used to take her in.

I love how these professionals will admit they're afraid but do the job to their best ability anyway! That's the definition of "HERO!"

Betty’s sporadic shed and the fact that she’s being handled so roughly and with so much unnecessary fear makes me really nervous at how she’s cared for. I love snakes. When shedding, if their husbandry is correct their shed should be coming off in one piece or large pieces not flaking like human dandruff.

​@@cheekypiper512 New England Reptile has videos on how to handle snakes properly. With regular gentle and respectful handling they become friendly and more handleable. Her enclosure needs proper UV and humidity and temperature for her skin.

My budgie Aussie has/had liver disease. Before we got Aussie, she was only really fed seed. I have three other budgies, and I gave the budgies apple occasionally, and that taught the other birds that other foods taste good too. Aussie is quite old, and had a big lump on her chest, she suddenly had diarrhoea, and green droppings. We separated her from the other birds. Aussie was staying in the same spot most of the time, and not liking going out of the cage. Then, I started feeding the birds SPINACH! Spinach is the the vegetable that saved Aussie. At the moment, Aussie has a tiny lump on her chest, and is on natural wood perches/ sticks I found on outside. The birds LOVE spinach, and I love spinach too. I am very happy that Aussie has gotten better, and fitter. The lesson here is: feed your birds not only seed, but mostly dark greens like spinach and broccoli.

Lisa you all inspire millions of people and kids not just kids. Just so you know. I'm inspired each time I watch a episode and I'm 31 years old LOL. So keep inspiring the young and old!!! Truly incredible and inspirational men and women. Thank you all for everything you do. Love you all!!

The Strategic Retreat was a great idea! 😲😲😲 Genious idea, even 😂🤣

Love the show, so THANK YOU to all the dedicated vets who share these great moments with us. You all do such a great job... In this episode tho, it would have been nice to see a follow up on Bubbles the cockatiel after a few weeks on his new diet... hopefully that will that be in a future episode :)

"Tooth fairy will be broke" this is why this is my favorite vet show lol

I wish we got an update on Bubbles. She reminds me a lot of my pet cockatiels

That snake is beautiful❤🐍❤

My jaw legitimately hurts watching this. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

My birdie had same problem and we had to cut his beak at the vet. My birds didn’t grow back thankfully. I’m so happy by seeing how chris is so gentle with the cute little chicken… a human for me shows humanity by treating animals well.

I live in Kansas City Missouri USA.I love watching your shows

Love that he knows not to recommend seeds! Some vets give you stuff that’s from seed brands! He cares about the animal and the right care!

Chris, you are amazing. Love watching your show. You really have a soft spot for animals. Lisa, thank you also. You always have a smile. I am a shut in, so this makes my day.

Thank for showing this. It really made my day!
