Microchipping pets including birds is a great way to ensure that they can be identified and returned if they get loose, lost, or even stolen. Talk to your vet to find out if you have the option to microchip your bird. While cats and dogs have microchips placed under the skin between the shoulder blades on their back, a bird will generally have a microchip implanted somewhere around the muscle of the breast. You should have your vet scan your bird first to make sure the bird doesn’t already have a microchip. If he doesn’t, your vet can implant the microchip which will then have an ID number that you can register with your contact information. If your bird has a microchip, get the ID number and run it to make sure the bird isn’t missing or lost. Change the contact information to yours. Talk to your vet Scottsdale, AZ for more tips.
