Olly the cockatiel came to the practice because she was suffering from egg binding- a very dangerous condition where a bird is unable to lay an egg, causing it to become blocked. After an assessment, we found the egg was unusually large and X-rays confirmed its size. Since this is an emergency condition and the egg needed to be extracted, Olly was placed under anesthesia so we could safely remove it. After recovery, she was comfortable, bright & happy again.
