Grey in pain?

[Hawaiisheila]

I already took my bird to the vet and he says everything is fine. But since I first got him he will not let me pet his back only head scratches. He makes a noise, very faint like I am hurting him when I pet his back. The person I got the bird from has a very well socialized Grey, lets you pet and just hangs out with out biting at all, very very friendly...completely opposite of my bird. Can I ask the vet to do an x-ray of his wings or is that unnessesary?

Hawaiisheila I think you can ask, no? He's the vet if he thinks it's unnecessary he will certainly not perform one.

Hawaiisheila...i agree with FairY. Ask the vet. does he make the noise anyother time? is it kind of a gurgling baby babble?

I would guess he is not hurt and is just telling you he doesnt trust you enoufgh to touch him here. Perhaps if the vet said it was fine you should give it some time and take it slow.
