An avian vet usually has a tech help them out..they deal with birds as a specialty....I wouldn't be to worried about them getting hurt,they know what they are doing.A check up isn't a bad idea .

Jenn and Lucky,

Wow, Lucky is very handsome! It's great that you guys are doing so well with getting to know and trust one another. Sounds like your all off to a great start!

Aye, don't worry about the vet getting bitten, they (should) have lots of experience... and that's what you are paying them for, so you don't have to be bitten
Actually, once they get the towel over his head he should calm down a bit and if he does try and bite he will just get a mouthful of towel.
Just be careful at home when you go to dry your hands that the bird doesn't give you a nip to warn you that he remembers what else towels are for.

Put the word towelling into the search field (top right of the screen) to read of our experiences

Yes i also found this i will be looking into this place id like to take lucky in for a check up and i believe the tip of his nails need to be trimmed as well as his beak i do think hes relatively healthy I was able to weigh him yesterday and he weighs 958 grams and from what I read at his age that seems to be normal

Hi, Jenn and Lucky! Welcome! Lucky is a handsome guy and sounds like he got lucky by you finding him . I suppose to socialize an animal you've got to get them around people. Starting out with him in a carrier may be a good beginning.
