Greywings Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 What changed? What toys did you put in the cage? Did you use any cleansers in the water? how old is Buster and where was he when his cage was being washed? Is it very dark and cloudy today?

Joolesgreyuk Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hi, if you didn't use detergent or any type of chemical then the answer has to be that buster's problem is totally unconnected to you jet-washing his cage. Where was he when you were cleaning the cage? Was he out in the cold or in a draught? This could be your answer. If not then a call or a visit to the vet should be your next move. Sorry I can't help more but please do let us know how you get on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joolesgreyuk Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Have you considered that he might be petrified of his new toys? Grey's hate change and mine takes weeks before he will even go near new toys. Could he have chewed something in the house that has had an effect on his health? Just a couple of ideas..

hill Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think its the toys as he sat with my g/f while i was cleaining his cage what do you think i should do take out all his new things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yes, put back only the things he is familliar with, if you want to introduce new toys to his cage you will have to do it more gradually, one at a time with weeks in between, also place the new toy within his sight but outside of his cage (which is his comfort zone/his home) where he can see it for a week or so before putting it in the cage. It's funny, they are always so wary of anything new, they seem to think it's gonna swallow them up. My Beau won't come in this room right now when he is out of his cage because there is a xmas card holder on the wall beside me, it's only small but he is very wary of it. Hope this helps.

Luvparrots Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I would call your avian vet and see what they think. The puffed up and sleeping a lot bother me. Did you dry the cage out after spraying washing it? How old is Buster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 If he is puffed up and sleeping this is not related to the toys - he would be wide awake and aware of the new alien items in his cage. Is he eating and drinking and pooping as usual? As Janet asks - if the cage wasn't totally dry he may have caught a chill. You would probably be best to get him to a vet for a quick check over - let us know how Buster gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
