Any other parrot owners here?

We have a wonderful 27 year old African Grey that was just diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in a leg. We had noticed her limping the last few months and finally took her for a CAT scan that revealed the tumor.
The vet is recommending amputation to potentially prevent further spread of cancer. No guarantees it will save her but increases the odds. Wondering whether anyone has experience with amputation and/or quality of life for one-legged parrot. We are leaning towards the amputation but wanted to see if anyone has gone through that. Thanks!

On Instagram, check out Two Grey Guys. It's about two African Greys who are missing their feet. I don't know if your vet is recommending the whole leg, though.
