Hey all,

 

I was out checking nest boxes and sitting outside watching the birds frolic in the aviary when I spied my nice YF grey, called Graye... this is a photo from last year.

 

 

 

 

There was something about his stance that worried me, so, not wanting to take any chances I caught him, checked him over and decided he could do a stint in the hospital cage. He looked nice and clean, no poopy butt, but he was a bit thin for my liking. (This is a bird I was going to suggest to Kaz that we do a joint breeding program with).

 

He got a crop dose of Poly-Aid Plus before going into the hospital cage where I can keep an eye on him. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his appetite, he has been eating quite a bit since going in. Poops look normal. He can stay until morning when I will check him over again.

He might have been hit a little hard by the moult Feathers. A few of my boys looked a little thin after moulting this year and the heat doesnt help much either. No actual signs like you say, but looking a little tall and thinner some of them.

I would welcome him here when he is ready.....maybe with this gorgeous one

 

or this

Hey Feathers,

 

My Margoo has done the same thing gotten thinner there is not signs of illness and the Vet check was A okay... Could only put mine down to him feeding the babies.... as all the others are fine so i didn't think it could be heat however he is now 4

They might have the going light disease,or need to be wormed.

Hi again,

 

Kaz, he has a great blow but need work in the mask area, so maybe pick according to that feature.

 

I really don't think he is sick at all, just being overly cautios and the poly-aid will help.

My birds were wormed in spring, so they should be fine... they are on concrete.

hope he is feeling better, I noticed that Merlin really gets under the weather when he is molting too
