AFTER JUST OVER TWO WEEKS,CHARLIE HAS BEGUN TO COME ROUND AFTER ME SLIPPING UP AND CUTTING TOO MUCH OFF HIS BEAK.I HAVE BEEN TRIMMING IT FOR MANY YEARS WITHOUT THIS SAD RESULT.HIS FIRST WORDS WERE "I LOVE YOU" SO HE MUST HAVE FORGIVEN ME NOW.HE ALSO FLYS TO ME WHENEVER I COME INTO THE ROOM, AND SNUGGLES UP TO ME.I THINK ALL THIS HAS SHOCKED ME AS MUCH AS HIM,SO A LESSON HAS BEEN LEARNED. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT,AND WHAT A GREAT FORUM THIS IS. FROM RON IN THE U.K.

THANKS FOR THE REASURANCE CEASARSDAD AND QUICK REPLY. CHARLIE IS FOURTEEN YEARS OLD, AND THE VET CLIPPED HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME ONLY.THIS TIME I DID IT WAS MORE STRESSFUL I THINK. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW HE GETS ON, HE IS VERY DEAR TO ME. RON.

TWO WEEKS AGO I CLIPPED MY GREYS BEAK,BUT SADLY I CUT A LITTLE TOO MUCH OFF AND MADE IT BLEED.I PUT ON SOME FERIC CHLORIDE WHICH I HAD OBTAINED FROM THE VET TO STOP THE BLEEDING WHICH IT DID.MY CAUSE FOR CONCERN IS THAT "CHARLIE" (WHO HAS A VOCABULARY OF OVER A HUNDRED WORDS) HAS NOT SPOKEN ANOTHER WORD SINCE, HE IS EATING FAIRLY WELL,BUT ISNT VERY ACTIVE.CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY ADVICE AND REASURANCE PLEASE.
