Birds, Birds, and BIRDS!

When not focused on her sharing her love for veterinary anesthesia, Dr. Gaby enjoys spending time with her partner Jeffrey, her two golden retrievers (Odin and Winry), and three parrots (1 green-cheek conure and 2 budgerigars). She is obsessed with any and all birds, korean music and tv shows, fancy cocktails, karaoke, and most importantly… BIRDS.
