That's correct.  We couldn't possibly afford to test every bird we get in!  It would be wonderful if we could........

Ailsa, the mention of respiratory leads me to ask, do all of our sick
birds automatically get tested for papilloma and other like viruses?



I don't think so, although Tammy or one of the other admins may be able to answer this more definitely.  I think we test for anything that's likely based upon a physical exam and/or the birds living conditions before being surrendered to Mickaboo.  Unfortunately, Mickaboo just doesn't have the resources to do a complete workup on every bird, not even every obviously-sick bird.  :-/
