"Alright, so you want content, here's some freaking content. So I just got done at the vet, hi Jester. So Jester has probably a calcified egg in her, either we do surgery to remove it, or she's gonna have infections, and the infections can take her out. I've had two lovebirds pass away after surgery due to egg binding. What I'm going to do is communicate with some avian vets online, send out her x-rays. This is really hard, I don't want anything to happen to her, and it's like a damn-diffy-do-damn-diffy-don't situation. And I have to consider what gives her longevity and being comfortable, and weigh risks. I lost her partner last year, I see, yeah, you're acting normal now. I've probably put in maybe $2,000 regarding the situation, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure my little nugget is doing okay. And a happier note, my little nasty girl Hilda is okay. They did a gram stay, no bad bacteria, everything else came up good, she's a little chunky, she's a little older, so she doesn't get around that much, so yeah. And then Milo was there for moral support, because he will flock call for his friends, and it gets really sad, and I don't want him to be sad, so he went for the ride, and made out with Hilda, and then he got bored with that, and started climbing on my hands, and winning kisses, because he is in worse. So that is update. Jester may need surgery, or we just keep an eye on her and try to prevent any potential infections. The greatest thing would be if she could just poop it out. Jester, poop out that egg. Can you do that for me, please?"
