It's always a good idea to take your new little friend to get checked out. Most breeders (at least the ones I looked into) allow you 72 hours to take the Quaker to an avian vet of your choice to get checked out. If you don't within that time, then the breeder doesn't assume any responsibility for anything that might be wrong with them.
I'm sure the price varies a lot by location, but I took mine in last week and it was $55.

It's always a good idea to take a new parrot in for a vet checkup within a few days of bringing him home. The charges for a general exam vary quite a lot in the area where I live-- anywhere from $30 up to $200. Find out which vets in your area are avian certified, or are at least experienced in looking after parrots, then make some phone calls to ask about charges.

That's what I did to find Ralph's vet (the one who used to look after my old parrot George retired). I got some recommendations from "parrot people" I know, and checked online for information on avian vets, then started making phone calls. I learned from someone who once used the most expensive vet in the area that he isn't the best at caring for birds, and doesn't do anything that the less expensive ones do. A little research can pay off.  |
