yvette Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My grey is acting funny. He still has his appetite and whistles and all, but he keeps squinting with one eye. It keeps closing on him.He scratches his cheek and yawns alot, but he cant seem to keep his one eye open. Do you think he might have poked it? It doesnt look injured or runny. I was thinking of giving him a bath to see if maybe that will flush out something if thats what is the problem. Now I am a bit paranoid because yesterday my daughter decided to help around the house and she used carpet freshner before she vaccumed. I didnt realize it until it was too late. Could that be the problem and if it is, what can I do to help him? How long before he can come back into the room if I need to have him moved???

Raposa Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think they can. Bathing him daily should help . . . not sure how long you would have to keep him out of the room. Do you have a good air purifier in your home, by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookyhurst Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Occasionally, Nikko seems to have a little allergy attack. She'll sneeze, and her nares will run. It's typically a short lived event though. Her nares will dry up within an hour. Knight just posted about his grey getting something in her eye. Once it was swabbed out, she was fine.

judygram Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hopefully that was what it was that was irritating his eye Yvette and yes Spence just had the same thing happen to his new grey, maybe this will be the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Any kind of cleaning products with scent can be irritating or sometimes even deadly to birds. Please tell your daughter to be careful and always check with you first before using any products around your animals. Also be sure she knows about the dangers of teflon and even scented candles can be dangerous. You can never be too paranoid where birds are concerned. I hope that it was just something in the birds eye but I'd air out the room until the scent disappears. Just my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
