I really love how Chris doesn’t ever shame the owners for their care bc he knows they are doing what they think is best

[@tarajh]

It’s all about education going forward, because *when you know better, you do better* 💕

[@juliesprik9479]

Love the cockatiel! So pretty 🦋

[@serenasalinger-kraft5948]

Good man and a wonderful vet and staff!

[@rosylocks2204]

I know this is very late but it is probably also partly due to him wanting the owners of the animals to come back, because if a veteran insults you saying your a poor owner and they find out that person will most likely not come back. Because if I brought my pet in for any reason and found out I was bashed on then I would never come back. Tho no matter what he is being a cool and caring dude.

[@cynthiarothrock4255]

I love how he takes the TIME to teach young owners how to care for their pets properly.

[@MorallyGray96]

I love the fact that Chris didn't make Jasmine feel bad for not feeding Bubbles properly. He's basically like "Hey, you've done everything you thought was right, but let's make her diet a bit more nutritious." He was so gentle with her. 💙

[@die_rabenfrau]

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.

[@die_rabenfrau]

@JewTube - Censor Yourself. Or we'll do it for you. Nevertheless, the main part of the responsibility lay with the parents, whose task it would have been to guide their daughter.

[@KTPStudios04]

Yes, Chris definitely knows how to deal with those kind of owners! Chris is so empathetic and so is Lisa. That's why I love them!

[@die_rabenfrau]

@@KTPStudios04 But one thing must be clear to you: in this way the girl will never really internalize what she did wrong. If she gets a new/other pet at some point, she will probably make the same mistake again. It would be better to say clearly what she did wrong, why it was wrong and to point out that she has to inform herself BEFORE buying a pet, instead of ending up afterwards with a sick pet at the vet because of nutrition and/or wrong keeping. And the same applies to the parents, whose task it would have been to guide their daughter in the necessary information procurement.

[@KTPStudios04]

@@die_rabenfrau that's true, but you shouldn't want to totally scold the owners... that's a bit rude, of course they made mistakes but they have to learn from them.

[@teclinsoro4523]

for everyone getting mad at bubbles owner in the comments, please remember that she is young and inexperienced. she’s just a kid. the people at fault here are her parents for not doing further research and educating her in proper bird care. the good news is that she knows better now, and bubbles will be much happier and healthier

[@cowboyanxiety]

thank you! thats EXACTLY what ive been saying. im definitely glad chris was patient and understanding and explained it to her without making her feel guilty. shes just a kid, but i can tell she loves that bird, it's really not her fault her parents didnt ensure she knew what was right before getting bubbles.

[@georgecarberry9222]

Video that can help you learn all about Australian men & how much they dislike men in general. Luckily, Chris is not looking very happy with Bubble's health & her atrocious diet. He's so kind to Jasmine. He's wonderful trying to help this little girl care for her bird properly. He's just such a wonderful doctor in every way. When we can see his choice for a life partner, it's obvious we can't be too picky (if that's possible). Thankfully Chris is so outrageously fantastic as a vet. He is desperately seeking a more accurate & seeking a seeking a fullest CT scan. Brun.Truscan.

[@georgecarberry9222]

It is always the responsibility of the parents of a child to help a child learn everything about the proper care & feeding of any & all pets they acquire for that child. So, if a parent or parents agree they're going to agree to purchase or otherwise acquire a specific pet for their child, those parents must learn all about the best of the foods they're feeding that pet no matter when that pet is most hungry and most active. So, it's a new

I love when Tim explains things that are kind of self-explanatory but that I would never think of on my own. I just sit and nod with a glass of wine in my hand. “Yes, you’re totally right Tim, we really can’t risk Atomic Betty‘s injury getting any worse. We’ve got to handle her super carefully.

@@prcervi Except animals, especially retics, don't come out of the egg mean. You handle the animal in a stressful manner, its gonna behave defensively. Although your comment did gently remind me that Atomic Betty might not have actually been hatched at the park, and thus they could genuinely be dealing with the situation the best they can.

[@sarasolomon4812]

I love how Riley’s girlfriend came right up to him afterwards. The surgery must have been so painful, and he looks so irritated, but he doesn’t snap at her, instead he looks comforted by her snuggling next to his face.

[@waxwinged_hound]

Jeez imagine the pain poor Riley was going through. One broken tooth and three more trying to grow in! Makes wisdom teeth look like a joke (and I've HAD my wisdom teeth removed, I went through the pain of them coming in wrong and the post-surgery pain after they were removed, but looking at what Riley went through made me grateful that was all I had to deal with).

[@athena8794]

I really sympathize with him too. I had 7 wisdom teeth, all of which got yanked in one go.

[@feretstudios7176]

Birds need fruits and veggies in their diet. Almost like a small child. From my experience, most of the bird food from pet stores are garbage and you have to buy the good food online or specialty stores.

[@FukaiKokoro]

FeretStudios or make it yourself. Like birdie chop. Bird tricks here 9n youtube has videos about food.

[@marenacain]

Not really. Zupreem makes a pretty high quality pellet that is perfectly healthy as a base diet that won't cause beak crumbling. Using pellets is better than seeds period. Fruits and veggies, of course, but pellets are definitely better than seeds.

I also have a cockatiel, her name is Mochi. They need more veggies and fresh foods than seeds. Wish the parents had made her do her research before getting a bird. And done research of their own with a child that young.

[@lillianborofsky7679]

her cockatiel is 4, if she got it when she was eight then she didn't do enough research to give it a proper diet. she probably was'nt. mature enough to own a bird and give it a proper diet.

Captive birds are not using up the energy (calories). Too much fat leads to liver damage. Captive birds need a diet of fresh vegetables, some fruits and use seeds only as treats (for training).

[@macaelatice-loma1048]

yea same: my white cockatiel ghost went out to our screen room and let him fly around... died 2 years ago sept 10 at age of 23... loved veggies carrots was his fave veggie and blueberries for fruit and once a week a small handful of corn/sunflower seed mix. loved that bird to bits always going as you walk by "hi im a pretty boy squawk!!"

[@Conifer_kestrel]

The reason they get liver damage is from seeds and are trapped in their cage. My bird doesn’t have a cage and freely roams the house, has full grown fully flighted wings and eats a mix of fruit and vegetables everyday. Every time we take her in for a check up the vet is shocked at how healthy she is compared to other patients. I think that everyone should keep their bird this way.

[@TheLaughingDove]

The diet needs don't just depend on the activity level, the first thing to check is that the diet is appropriate for the species of bird! Lorikeets, cockatiels, chickens, pigeons, finches all have their own subtleties to them and generalizing too much is the problem

[@sleepisamazing546]

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.

Everyone needs to realise/remember that many,many years ago there was far less info about pet nutrition and many pets still would have been healthy/seamingly healthly to the owners so there's little to no reason to look up info that you have already learnt many years prior and told is true.

[@XSemperIdem5]

Companies still make unhealthy foods targeted to species that aren't even supposed to eat that. For example, they sell yogurt treats full of sugar and dairy for rabbits. You should never feed them that, yet pet stores, including major ones still sell those products.

[@FifthHorsemanofApocalypse]

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

[@5cats2kids8]

Bubbles’ young owner is such a mature young lady! ❤️

I like how jasmine's dad didnt say anything and left her explain she must really know that bird huh

[@lindawork3542]

Chris talks to Jasmine in such a way that she can feel good about the bird and what she can do as a responsible bird owner in the future.

I love how jasmine took in the information , I am 10yo myself, and my alexandrine parrot broke his leg while fledging , we got him as a baby, he is better now, we also have 3 budgies we have until our friend comes back from her holiday, we have them all on the birdtricks seasonal feeding system, and they are happy and healthy. Lots of people make the diet mistake, and don’t get the info, jasmine got the info and took it in.

lisa's little fans were just adorable omg

[@tatilibero3]

My grandmother had 2 budgies named Lancelot and Guinevere when I was growing up. I remember that their cage was their bedroom and they did everything outside. Pellet, veggies and water dishes and tons of toys. They never left each other's side. When Guin died Lance was destroyed and never came out of his room. He passed from heart ache for his mate... birds deserve so much better than that poor girl was getting
