Fantastic. You're such a loving, caring grey owner! Wish there were more people like you out there who advocate for their birds.

Thank you for the message. Yes i have consulted with the avian vet on the link you provided me. Thanks for the link. I talked to the vet and she inquired me regarding the medicine i was giving and told me that the medicine is okay if it is healing him to recovery. Other than that she also suggested to give more veggies and pellet diet to cater all nutrients. I will now give him vegies tomorrow via juice blend as adviced by you.

Thank you. That's so nice of you.

He looks to be creating a sound that's pleasing to him.

What a cute bird! The tongue thing is probably just a part of his personality. We all have quirks, yanno? Is Alex eating and drinking normally? As long as it's not interfering with his health and well-being, it probably shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind though, I'm just a lady on a forum!

Without having a blood test you can't know for certain if he's calcium deficient. I'd be cautious about giving him anything supplemental without knowing for sure. He will get what he needs if you transition him over to a wide variety of veggies. Fruit is high in sugar, so it's best not to give him primarily a fruit diet. If he's not eating veggies, and if you have access to blended vegetable juices, you could try giving him his veggies via a drink. My flock love to sip veggie juice off a spoon! Spinach binds with calcium, so it's best to avoid spinach.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Yes that is what i was scared the most if he falls again due to a seizure. I have shifted him to a travel cage/hospital cage. But i really really hope he doesnt have a seizure again because it seemed very distresful and painful i almost thought that i had lost him because there was no pulse and then he suddently opened his eyes when my mother rubbed his belly and his back. It felt like a horror to see him like that. Today i gave him quite a good meal of fruits then after i while i gave him his favorite nuts (cashew and almonds). He is still not eating his pellet diet again which i am worried as he was really used to his pellet diet but since the yesterday's event he hasnt eaten pellet diet again. Today he had fruit and nuts along with his medicine in the morning (Vidaylin-M -> 1ml dosage). Also to cater his calcium deficiency i sprinkled powdered calcium in his fruit bowl to trick him into having calcium as well. Is this okay? This is what the local vet told me to do but i wanted to verify from you if this is all correct? He has been quite stable and active today which makes me really happy. Has been playing with his toys in the evening and also has been vocalizing. I really hope he is getting better as i cannot confirm his health with no vet availible.

Thanks for the reply. Yes ofcourse now i will give him veggies in the morning. He wont eat them plain im sure so ill trick him into eating veggies along with his favorite food.
