Trina Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hello, My bird was just screaming is head off and then threw up his baby food. It is the first time I have seen that, should I be worried? Or just wait and see, otherwise he is totally fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 sounds like he just got a bit full and had a bit of a tummy ache to me. he should be fine, if it happens next time then you should probably call a vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Id take him to the vet. Could be an infection or something with the crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 When you say he was screaming and then threw up his baby food, be a little more specific. Did he regurgitate it from his crop? If so, he may have done it deliberately. And when you say he was screaming, what exactly do you mean? Was he doing feeding behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 thats what i was thinking as brian did it once when i was handfeeding him, he took a bit too much, made a few baby feeding time screaches and then regurgitated it back out. i took it slower after than and it never happened again. obviously if what you experienced sounds more severe than that you should see a vet tari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Birds regurgitate to show affection but usually not until they are older and it should not be prefaced by any type of screaming that would indicate distress or pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for all your info, his screaming was what he normally does at about 10pm everynight, playing whith his toys and getting all crazy, so that was very normal.He has just eaten. He then just sort vomited/reguritated and that was it. Then carried on as normal, I called the vet and he told me not to worry, just watch his poop and any other changes. He is feeding fine and active as normal...so I will wait today and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 When checking his poop, make sure there are no undigested seeds, etc, in it. It should be smooth and normal poop. Undigested matter would indicate a gastric problem. If the poop is fine, then all your bird is doing is being a silly baby bird, which is cute. It sounds like he was just getting over-excited when playing and regurgitating blissfully. It is a normal response to pleasure. They want to share (eeeeew). Glad to hear all is well.<br><br>Post edited by: Lidia, at: 2007/07/19 12:29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
