Cheers again Edited October 25, 200519 yr by echucabirds
October 25, 200519 yr Well, no one can help the bird except the vet but I can tell you that it is possible that it is a tumor that has caused the cere to change if you're positive tihs is a male bird. How old is he? He needs to see an avian vet, definitely.
October 25, 200519 yr He is about a 1 year old m,aybe a bir older . I might go back in to the aviary and catch him a little later and read the leg band on him He cant biote that hard anymore like he use to , cheers nathan
October 25, 200519 yr dont think so as when we got the bird it was mature accroding to the guy at petstock . and they know abit about birds there .
November 1, 200519 yr Looks a bit strange and abnormal to me. I would really try to get a vet visit in soon if I were you.
November 1, 200519 yr No he is living on borrowed time it is only a matter weeks according to the vet .
November 2, 200519 yr Very sad, indeed. I'm so sorry echucabirds. Unfortunately, this tends to be more common in the mutations (like pieds) than in normals. Did your vet give you any specific diet to follow, or particular instructions to make his life a bit easier?
November 2, 200519 yr That's terrible. Is there anything you can do to make his last few weeks enjoyable for him?
