So today we were calling around different vets to have Pascal's closed leg band removed. It's started to wear on his leg and though he doesn't seem bothered, and he's had it his whole life, I'd feel better if it was gone.
The first vet we called said they wouldn't do it because it's illegal.. Umm.. I've never heard that. I know the laws are different everywhere but Texas doesn't require birds to be banded(except for in pet stores and such). So that blew my mind.
Regardless we found a vet about an hour away that will do it, so we'll be trying to get him in this evening. But I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this? It confused us for sure. :/
