Cody steps up to the scale, what a good boy.

Cody, the little Blue Crown Conure certainly appears to be up for the weight loss program his owner has laid out for him.

We were certainly skeptical as you can imagine if he would or would not do so. Just knowing his little life hung in the balance was difficult knowing. Now add to that, needing the continuous cooperation to achieve this goal from a bird. We could only hope and pray it was possible.

In addition you can ask yourself as we did. Is such drastic weight loss feasible? Now please make a mental note of this fact, weight loss can not be achieved to fast. That is also life threatening.

The proof you see here is in the video.
We will share very soon the symptoms noticed by the owner on our next blog post. Just out of time now to do so Thanks for following our story.

It is usually said that Weight Loss is for the birds

In this case, that saying could not be truer. Cody a sweet, happy and totally adorable Blue Crown Conure needed a major change in his dietary habits.
Cody was recently diagnosed by our vet as morbidly obese. When you are told as an owner that your bird has boobs, you better immediately step up to the plate or scale in this case. There is no doubt at all that a life or death situation is facing this awesome little bird named Cody.
We are looking forward to learning how this all began with Cody and going on this weight loss journey with him
