The love he has for that bird is phenomenal

[@tsutl84]

Agreed. To have the same animal for 40ish years is amazing because they are a lot of work to take care of. To see the dedication and to want to talk to the bird over the phone while away is really cool to see.

[@user-gg6lr2lc1v]

Watch this guy on TV he's Amazing ❤❤❤

[@Sabouma28]

with such a diet, I am very surprised this bird lived to this age

[@Abyssal2808]

They're lucky that they could get to tumour off, and that it wasn't cancerous! My dog was 15, and he was a bigger dog, so 15 was old for him. He had a lump on his leg, and sadly it was cancer. We were afraid he was too old to go under surgery, and that he wouldn't wake up. We put him down, so he wouldn't suffer. That dog chased down a burglar, and saved my life when I was a kid. I will forever miss him.

[@WhileMyGuineaPigGentlyWheeks]

Aww I’m so sorry for your loss. Sounds like you gave your dog a beautiful life. Bless You ❤️

😢😢😢😢

[@OrcinusOrca1995]

This just proves how important it is to feed your bird a proper diet!!

[@sammygirl6910]

Or, hear me out; don't keep birds of this type as pets. Parrots and similar birds have needs that 90% of people can't meet. It's cruelty, plain and simple.

[@OrcinusOrca1995]

@@sammygirl6910 You def have to be the right type of person to own a parrot. It can be done though

Reality here is its VERY difficult to change a birds diet. Good luck Pretty!

This bird should notre live alone . He has nothing to do, except when his owner comes to see him

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

His feathers were so much brighter after the diet change!!!

His skin was less red so that helped.

He sure is! Record him,4 my birdie n myself ❤

[@yland6003]

It’s honestly a miracle that Pretty has lived so long.

[@keepcalmyouexist358]

Miracle no, a good age, sure. With the proper care and some luck with genetics, galah cockatoos can live up to 70 years. Now, this parrot is only eating fatty foods and has limited exercise, so fat jasbaccumulated and that could be a problem, because a lipoma can be removed, but fatty liver can't, and thats why it's important to get your parrot, from tiny budgies to macaws and cockatoos, on a good, balanced diet from early on, because a middle aged parrot is like a small child when it cones to communicating whats vital. I get that back in the day the information on proper care was limited and certainly not available to everyone as it is today with the internet, but still, just don't give your bird pasta. It's a double shame, because the dad absolutely loves Pretty, no question on that, but he was still killing him with love.

[@elizabethingram9784]

What I don’t understand is how little people know about how to care for their animals and how long they will let health problems continue before they search out the advice of a vet.

[@kcevirodem]

Most of us with birds, get very passionate about them. My birds have become an obsession. Especially my cockatiel Charlie. Birds have a way of getting into our hearts and souls.

Maurizio is a very caring pet Guardian. Chris is a caring Vet, and it's obvious here. He gave Maurizio, in a loving ❤ way, the necessary information in the dietary teaching. Poor Baby, oops, I mean Pretty. No more steak and pasta. Its the salad way of life (did I hear he could have chicken?) and ❤it's doing a great job for the bird. He really looks wonderful.

[@mishellekarn5260]

I'm so happy I gave my bird greens straight away! I hope Pretty & his human have a very long happy life!

[@missviolet7714]

It’s so hard to change a birds diet, I have at one point had 12 + rescue birds one specifically a little parrottlette came to be and had no idea about veggie mash or birdie bread, or pablum or anything. Took her well over a year to accept one new thing. Then another couple more to get her completely off seed.

[@barryandjackypowell8239]

As aviculturists for over 40 years, we cannot stress enough that all birds require a diet suited to their species' requirements and as natural as possible - without human foods (or liquids!) Sunflower seeds are too high in oil and feeding them as a sole food is like giving a growing child a nonstop diet of takeaway fastfoods.

[@terrybarreneche7388]

My parrot loves pasta too, but I had to cut it out for his own good. But it was hard...lol

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

Less of it and higher fiber maybe

[@melmoomlem7321]

Maybe one plain whole grain or veggie pasta noodle as a treat for birthdays?

[@paulafernandes6875]

And wow what a difference that diet worked great i wish i could shrink the one i have in my pancreas chemo sucks Congratulations to Pretty and his Dad well done

[@sammygirl6910]

Good luck, Paula. I'm waiting for confirmation that my cancer has returned, which is looking very likely.

[@darkwolf453]

This shows how important a good diet is for pet birds!

[@HazelHammond1505]

I'm sure it was one of the hardest things to change Pretty's diet. BUT to watch the tumor go down. That's a amazing. I'm sure it made a believer out of Pretty's owner. just to think having your first pet sense you were 11 yrs old...That would be so Great! and Bondi Vet's another great video. thanks for sharing

What a great video, chris is such an amazing vet. Its amazing how quickly the bird recovered after being on a proper diet.

[@jessicajarsak7812]

I was wondering why no more fruits. Along with the greens and millet. That was surprising how the tumor shrunk. That’s amazing!

[@cynthiaconnors183]

Fruits are extremely high in sugars that metabolize into fat

[@mirjamvanoverbeek]

Een complimemt voor Dr Chris dat hij ziet dat het dieet van de vogel aangepast moet worden. Het dieet van vogels bestaat namelijk uit groente, fruit, kruiden en zaden. Het is mij alleen wel opgevallen dat de vogel alleen leeft. Waar zijn de soortgenoten? Aangezien vogels groepsbijeenkomsten zijn... Op zich heeft de vogel veel ruimte maar zelf zou ik nog meer in de kooi toevoegen qua speeltjes, nog meer takken, fourageerspeelgoed en nog veel meer. De vogel leeft alleen en dit zorgt ervoor dat hij zich minder zal vervelen. De vogel plukt duidelijk zijn veren en dat is een teken van verveling. Dit is allemaal wat ik heb heb gezien en vanuit mijn oogpunt beter kan.

[@genepatterson4375]

Dr Chris is awesome. Is Pretty having an issue with the feather loss in the neck and chest area in addition to his lipoma?

[@rebeccaconlon9743]

With the featherloss area looks like stress plucking

[@amandajackson668]

It can be caused by stress and his horrible diet

[@norasteel1776]

[@tamarrajames3590]

Is Pretty going to grow back his leg and belly feathers as well? He looks half plucked. Reminds me of when a couple of hens got into fruit preserved in alcohol and fell over like dead birds. My Gran quickly started plucking them in preparation for cooking. About 3/4 the way through, just before she was going to take the heads off and drain the blood out, then gut them…they woke up, and we had two naked chickens running about. Their metabolism had quickly gotten them passing out drunk, and Gran thought they died from alcohol poisoning…but just as quickly, they came out of their drunken stupors…and were quite unimpressed.🖤🇨🇦

[@Hlutea-Hmar]

yes. from season 6

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

"We took a biopsy. It's FAT." Would it be possible to do a parrot version of falconry too?

[@ESwift-Arts]

I suppose you could train a parrot to do certain tasks (they’re very willful and would probably refuse unless you have a very close bond though!) However the core part of falconry is working together to hunt prey. Parrots don’t hunt but perhaps they could have a partnership with humans foraging for fruits or grains.

[@an_impasse]

That a lot of plucked feathers, though...now the tumour had gone down, figure out what's stressing the poor bird

[@sallyshipwreck4315]

Why on earth is the slide prep blurred?

[@millenialsmom2214]

What kind of a bone head feeds a bird 🐦 pasta? How about we cage him & only feed him donuts & cake?

[@OrcinusOrca1995]

People that have birds really need to educate themselves on proper diet. Too may people also give a bunch of seeds and no fruit or veg when seeds should only be a little part of the diet not the main!!

[@HazelTheHusky69420]

[@hannakinn]

I paused my watching...because I have a hunch. Sunflower seeds are fatty/oily. Maybe Pretty just has a lipoma, a fatty tumor, mostly Fat cells. Update..yep, I was right, I made a proper guess because I used to watch Dr. Pimple Popper and I learned a lot about lipomas from her.

You would think, the owner was new to avian needs in captivity. I do not own a bird, but even I know they need a variation in their diet, seeds are not enough, fruits and vegetables, and nuts for oils and proteins. Along with some seed .. /Alse that poor bird Pretty is completely stressed out, with him plucking himself. He needs a calmer quieter environment.

[@soniadamerchie2576]

[@Stack_4_the_underscore_]

Are they just censoring the needle so it doesn’t scare anybody? There’s other videos with shown needles.

[@Doggypaws59]

just to anyone who has a bird or wants a bird, they need to eat fruits and vegetables, sunflower seeds are very full of oils and theyre not a source of enough nutrition for the bird. in the wild birds would be eating fruits so please do the research

[@rosya4102]

The man loves his bird for sure but the bird is really stressed. Unless there’s something wrong with the bird and he’s losing all his feathers. Or plucking I don’t know.

[@Sabouma28]

ever thought of the diet being the culprit? The owner was feeding the bird human food.... that's a huge no no
