Cybil79

hi the vet is an avian vet. just seems like something is wrong even though she is playing and eating now as normal. i am going to call the vet tomorrow

Hi My 2 year old African Grey recently seems to have been under the weather, fluffed feathers, lethargic and quiet. I took her to the vet and he said there were no viral or respiritary problems and that the problem could be lack of calcium. He gave her an injection and a calcium supplement and recommended I changed to a pellett based diet which I have done and she loves. Cybil seems better, less ruffled and playing as normal ( a week later), the only worrying thing is that she has not spoken or really made a sound now for a week and a half or so. She is eating fine and does not seem off her food. I rang the vet and he didnt seem to think it was anything to worry about - she just seems depressed. I have checked her environment for anything I may have moved or replaced etc but she still seems the same. Im not sure what to do, as she used to talk a lot

HI Just after some advice, I have had my grey for around 9 months now and she lives with me and my partner and everything has been fine. Cybil would step up for the both of us and was happy to play with us too. I have just been back from a 2 week business trip for just over a week and now Cybil seems terrified of me when in the cage, when I ask her to step up she clings on to the chains of her swing as if cowering. This never happened before. When out of the cage she has a preference to go to my partner which is normal but she will also come to me too, although appears timid sometimes. I have been on my own today and let CYbil come out of the cage by herself, she has flown to me and sat on my shoulder as i cleaned up etc and has stepped up onto my hand as i moved around. But once back in the cage she seems scared of me again. I cannot understand it at all Any advice anyone can give would be appreciated
