This is very exciting. It must be spring for sure. The sun is shining awesomely with blue sky in the Puget Sound. It must be spring. What a joy to have found that egg. This is very exciting.

But is the large x-ray machine large enough for the pterodactyl? ;) Thanks for the explanation, Tiff.

I'm glad she finally laid that silly egg! Hopefully the others will come with ease. I’ve been worried about pretty Petunia all week… I’m glad she finally laid that silly egg!

The two I know of have dental x-ray machines, which are just perfect for little birds, parrots, guinea pigs, lizards, hamsters, etc. Anything larger than an amazon parrot really doesn't show on an 8" diameter x-ray. So last time Flapper had a bunch of these little dental x-rays and they thought it looked like he had a growth or mass, because they were seeing bits of him at a time and trying to piece it together. They were going to biopsy to see what the mass was. A nice, big clear x-ray showed it was nothing abnormal. So we don't do little tiny x-rays anymore. Emergency vet clinics that treat mostly cats & dogs tend to have larger, better x-ray equipment. They can take awesome x-rays of a complete duck all at once. Less radiation exposure and much, much clearer image. There's a great ER animal clinic less than 2-miles from my house and I can get ducks x-ray'd there 24-hours a day.

I'm still perplexed by the reference to the "good" x-ray clinic. Is there an evil clinic somewhere? Yay, TooToo!
