TAGSugar Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, since everything has been great! I recently read that you can tell if a parrot is sick by the way it stands. Sugar usually stands on one leg when she's on her perch, but has been standing on 2 all day. Her droppings/demeanor seem to be normal. Should I be concerned?? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morana Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Any other signs of an illness? Pour appetite, not playful/talkative/active as usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Interesting as my three parrots always stand on two legs. Very seldom do they stand on only one foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAGSugar Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Morana - none at all, she was talking up a storm during her bath today! I did take the dogs to daycare and she was alone during the day for the first time in a while - maybe she's upset about that? Luvparrots - that makes me feel better! I thought all parrots were supposed to be standing on one leg when they were hanging out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Greyt Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's so interesting how each one is different. Chickie stands on her right leg on her tree and almost always pulls up her left. Hope your baby is ok TAGSugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morana Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Well, if nothing changes in her eating/playing/talking habits for more than a day I wouldn't worry too much. Observe and if something is up, you'll notice it. Yesterday my Zak choose to stay almost all day in his cage although it was open all day for him to go out. He way playing with a roll of paper and it was enough to keep him in. This happens almost newer-to stay in the cage when cage doors are open..but when he got out he played some more and he was just fine;-) Now he is preening on the top of my bedroom door.. Lucky me:-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
