Earthquake

[Mollysmum]

We have just had an earthquake in the north of england and i'm at work and can't get out to see Mali.

I have asked my hubbie to go and check on him if he can

and he said he would but i'm still worried

 

Will he be ok?

 

from a very worried mummy

He may be very frightened and probably flapped around. It is a good idea to have your hubby check to make sure he is ok and no blood feathers have been broken and bleeding.

 

He will be "Ok", but perhaps a little distant for a day or two depending on how he reacted to it.

 

Please update us on how this all sorts out. :-)<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2009/04/28 14:52

He will be fine if he is in his cage, although he will probably be a bit spooked and would have had a bit of a fright. If it's a low magnitude quake then he would have felt shaking and there is probably structural damage to houses, but no houses would have fallen down.

 

One thing that could be a worry is if the gas lines have been affected and are leaking, so make sure your hubby checks for this to make sure he can't smell gas.

 

I really hope everything is ok.

I would definetly get someone to check.

 

I wont alarm you but they can be pretty spooked, as Dan says you need to check for blood feathers etc as they can thrash about in their cages.

 

Whereabouts are you?

 

Please post and let us know everything is okay:)

it was 3.7 on the scale.

He is in his cage becasue we are both at work today.

He has all of he flight feathers and tail feathers coming through after his operation so i'm hoping he hasn't damaged any of them.

Please let us know how Mali is when you check on him. I hope he is ok, he is probally scared and wants his mommy and daddy.<br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/04/28 16:01

Hubbie has been home to check on him and he is fine

He was on the side of the cage wanting to get out!!!

 

He will be getting a few extra scritches tonight if he wants them.

One of my poor babies was injured over a year ago when we had the last one. I also live in the UK and we just dont expect them here do we.

 

Glad to hear your baby is okay:)

i have now been home for a while and he is out and sat on the back of our couch and he has just tucked in to his tea and he has been chatting away to himself.

 

its the first one i have felt in our area of the country

 

Thanks for you replies

Awww, thats wonderful news. Thakns for updating us all. :-)

 

I thought earthquakes were rather rare there.

 

Being here in california, it's just another event, like weather that comes and goes. :-)

I am glad everything is fine. It did not reach us in Liverpool,thank God.The one we had last year was enough.That one spooked my two but they settled after a while.We are just not prepared for earthquakes in the uk.It would be crazy if we had a serious one.

I am glad that Mali is ok as we have had other's greys not fare so well, I have never experienced an earthquake and never want to but I would probably freak out.

[Acappella]

Glad that Mali is ok and having a normal night with the family.

[Raposa]

Whew, I am glad Mali is ok!

[Luvparrots]

Happy to hear Mali is okay. Yes a few extra scritches are called for and a treat or two perhaps.

[Tycos_mom]

I'm glad to hear everything is ok the poor birds can get pretty spooked when they are afraid and can't get away.

Good to hear he was ok, it can be very scary in an Earthquake
