(The pets) may take some deep breaths, some rapid breaths, sometimes they'll give a little stretch, or sometimes they'll just stop.

Sometimes people will bring in their other pets to kind of check him out. Then I check with a stethoscope. They have the option of me taking him away for cremation or whatever.

I see kids and pets as similars. With both of them, you give without expecting something monetary in return or having to deal with the 'what can you do for me' attitude, ... They just want someone to care and love them. That is all.

Sometimes you feel like you're betraying them.

It is ridiculous that they have been allowing the import of birds as pets in recent weeks without even placing them in quarantine.

They don't make good pets. They are extremely intelligent and always have escape on their minds. They want to roam and wander.
