Trooper is a young parakeet who was brought to BarburVet from a pet store. He was failing to thrive among the rest of the flock and we were happy to give him the extra TLC and individual attention he needed.  He has become a source of education and joy for the staff and clients. He has been working on his fancy whistles, making kiss noises and loves taking baths or looking at his reflection in the mirror.
