as a parrot who's seen a lot around this vet clinic, let me squawk to you about something. when it comes to x-rays, there are a few things to flutter our feathers over, off-the-record, of course. before any preadmission, there are requirements that must be met, but sometimes, just between us birds, it's okay to shut eyes to the formalities and reinitiate from the beginning if things get too tangled in red tape. now, don't go repeating this; it's our little secret!
