My parrot got heavy metal poisoning (What I did when I couldn't figure how why my macaw was sick)

Metal toxicity such as zinc or lead poisoning in parrots is really scary and can lead to death. My ten year old blue and gold macaw was in kidney failure of the Christmas and New Year's holidays, and we took her to different veterinarians trying to figure out what was wrong.
Even with my decades of experience as a zoo keeper and bird care giver, I was caught off guard by the sudden onset of symptoms. Watch to learn how my knowledge and experience helped in this situation and how to be prepared for any unexpected health emergencies with your feathered friends.

Yeah, so many metal parts are zinc coated. I always make sure to only have stainless steel everything around our Amazon parrot.
