So far nothing else has come out of Willows ear. I swear that it was earwax though :laugh: Though I can't prove it. It was weird, but he seems to be alright otherwise. I was so afraid because we don't have an avian vet anywhere around here. I have been very lucky that we have not needed one other than when he was a baby, and we had a very good vet on Vancouver Island at the time. Thanks for your inquiry to his mysterious affliction.:blush: :whistle:

Thanks everyone for all your ideas, will keep an eye on him though he seems quite happy right now.:cheer: Have no idea where to go to the Welcome Room is, but I have been accused of being half blind when it comes to this sort of thing.:laugh:

Thanks JillyBeanz, It will take me awhile to figure out this place, I have never been on a site like this before. I guess I was worried over nothing. He is still eatting and talking up a storm. Thanks again!!!:cheer:

Thank you, I will keep a close eye on him. I am sure he is fine. But you never know. We almost lost him as a baby. He started throwing up, as a result of a infected crop. My husband was hand feeding him and the food had gone bad. Had to go through lots of antibiotics to clear it up. At first I thought he was trying to feed me like my other Grey did, but this was slime. I am so happy it all worked out the way it did and we still have him after 14 years. They are very suttle in some of their illnesses and that one we almost missed. So with the "earwax" I guess I panicked. Thanks again for your ideas.

He seems alright. I just never noticed it before. He didn't try to bite me when I removed it. The ear looked ok but it looked like it had been there awhile.

I was cuddling him last night and noticed this hard crusty area over his ear. I gently scraped it away and it was a bunch of tiny feathers stuck together. I pulled it apart and it was like earwax. Smelled like popcorn. With earwax and people it is a result of persperation, could it be the same with birds and we don't normally notice it because they usually scratch it off themselves? Anybody know?

Do Greys have earwax?
