Grey Gordon Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi, all! My 7-yr old CAG fell off his perch while sleeping after a picture frame fell off a desk near his cage. He landed on the cage floor. He looked a little startled (who wouldn't be?) so i opened his cage and he stepped right up for me, but then he started flapping and fell on the floor. I'm totally freaked out. I'll be checking on him, but is there anything i should keep my eye out for?? Is he going to be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 If and when it happens again, let your bird make his own way up to the perch. He may stay on the botom for a bit. Never take him out of the cage after he falls unless he's laying on his side or back and refuses to move. When a bird falls off a perch it needs time to rebalance and get it's bearings back. He'll be okay. It happens to almost all parrots once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffNOK Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Gracie gets spooked and falls off her perch from time to time. I does happen and everything has always been fine. Let us know how your grey is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKparrot Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 How is your Grey doing? My Poly fell of perch 2 times while sleeping. It happen all the times with many birds in nature and in captivity....but you may not take your Grey out of cage immediately. Wait for a while and let him climb back on his own. Act only if he is laying in unnatural position and not moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Sterling Gris falls off of his perch in the dead of night. I am a light sleeper so it always scares the bejesus out of me. He always immediately climbs back up and I go back to sleep. A scene in the life of a grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Grey Gordon... your friend is going to be okay. All have excellent advice. Sometimes tougher on parents than the bird themselves! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
