Excellent article and hope your baby is avoiding any infections.

Seeing that would scare the crap out of me. I would be on the phone making arrangements to meet my vet at the animal hospital. I am very lucky to have an avian vet who is not only on call but also does shifts on nights/weekends at the animal hospital.

Thanks Greywings, my baby is doing fine, its like he just discovered food and keeps his head in the food bowl, trying to discover different tastes. NOt much goes in but Im glad he is excited about the fresh food I offer him. Seems to like the different colors.

Lucky to have such a vet Wingy, here the vets are typically French and there arent many bird experts, since there arent many parrots anyway. Still looking for the right one, hoping that I wont need him anyway.

 

I will keep you posted with the news of the grey in the photos above. Hope they will be able to solve this one soon. Poor little thing

I would have been scared with Wingy! Thinking.... tracheoesopageal fistula! Sometimes being a nurse.... sucks! Hope all is well Nancy
