Yeah, you are. Your bird had a new experience which he didn't think was too pleasent. Tomorrw, he'll be back to his old self. t'sa normal thing that birds do when they crash into things.

Always pay attention to your " gut". If sleeping more than usual tomorrow, get him into vet pronto. How is he eating and drinking? He probably is just fine, but birds hide illness well. Key is.... is he eating and drinking like normal. Nancy

Poor Alfie just had a scare. If he's OK today, just take him around to all the windows and mirrors and let him feel them, bang with his beak, rap on them with your finger, so that he learns there's an obstacle there. You could also get some vinyl decals, the kind people use to decorate walls, and stick them on the glass so he can see the hard surface. You're a good parront. I know what that guilt over a bump feels like. How does it look today? Sometimes I put a tiny amount of aloe gel on a bump if Dorian lets me near it. I have a plant so I know it's 100% safe.

Thanks Acappella he is fine today there s no way i would be able to get to touch the cut but it is very small and looks fine but will keep my eye on it, the odd part is alfie has always had free flight in this room and nothings changed so really dont know what he was thinking, sadly alfie is not very good and staying with me to walk round he has become a little devil since xmas, someone must of swapped my loving little baby, head strong is not the word!! but each day is a new day and I can see light at the end of the challenge guess in about 4 years lol

Sometimes something spooks them, it could have been anything and when frightened like that they will fly into things they don't usually do, my tiel does fly around the room at times but I have had a scary moment or two with her flying into the window and being disoriented for a bit but she gets over it. Birds have such good eyesight they notice things we might not but the important thing is not to beat yourself up over it, sh** happens.
