Popular Post webfact Posted June 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2021 Picture: Thai Rath Vets from the Animal Space Hospital went on Facebook to say they had operated on a mischievous parrot. Xrays revealed hard objects in the bird's stomach and when it was cut open 21 diamonds were found. They had come from its owner's hair clasp. The vets noted that birds were smart and naughty and would often eat everyday objects like nuts and bolts. They were also fond of stuff that sparkled. Surgery is not always necessary, a procedure to wash out the stomach can be done. Pet owners were advised to keep things away from their animals and told about the warning signs when they had swallowed something they shouldn't (the pets, that is). This could be when they are off their food, suffer interruption to their toilet routine or are depressed. Thai Rath did not report whether the diamonds were real or not. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-25 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
