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. :-/ ~ Ailsa
