Sun Huicong, a kindergarten teacher in Foshan, knows this all too well as his parrot “Facai” once had 14 laying an egg. The operation to remove the egg cost 1,180 yuan. Though taking the bird to the vet required days off work and a 90-minute drive to an animal hospital in Guangzhou, it was a 15 that Facai recovered quickly after receiving professional help in time.
