Well, I took Ipyana to the vet. Come to find out that the bad results from the blood test is nothing I'm doing! I was sooo worried! I want to do the best for him. The vet said that there are healthy birds and natural born sick birds. She thinks that the balance thing (he has REALLY bad balance sometimes) sounds like it is caused from the cerebrall cortex in the brain. The cerebrall cortex is in charge of the balance part. She thinks that it is genetic. "It shouldn't affect his life span" she says. The blood work should come back next week. I asked her why the CPK was sooo high. and she told me that it's not surprising since he is breaking off some of his blood feathers (which is caused from the balance). If there is muscle damage (which breaking off the blood feathers causes), the CPK will go up. There isn't anymore that I can do I guess. I'm doing everything right, but that doesn't affect genetics unfortunately Smiley. When I get the test results, I will post them. Ipyana recovered from the anesthesia way better this time. There is bruising underneath his wings again, which is caused from the vet having to take the blood from underneath the wings. He looks a little scraggly because he has some blood stained feathers from the blood taking. But hes still as adorable as ever!

Re: Seen the vet
They are cockatiels. June is what they call a "normal" and Ipyana is what they call a "White Faced". Make sure you do some reasearch on what they eat b/c there is alot of things that you need to know. (I found out after I got my birds)
