I recommended to the original poster (via email) the avian vet to whom
I take my 3 parrots:  Dr. James Harris, D.V.M. who runs the Montclair
Vet. Clinic in Montclair district of Oakland (which is close to Berkeley).
Dr. Harris writes occasionally for the American Federation of Aviculture's
magazine AFA Watchbird.
