Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
Yes, yes, yes! Loads of idiots out there playing at breeding birds hun. I am really sorry if this is the case. The number of people who want a baby bird and think it's fun to take it home unweaned.

Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
I wouldn't doubt it--- Noodles has scissor beak (likely due to improper weaning). Honestly, there are SO many people who do things wrong...Wish I had more info on this in particular though. I hope you get answers!

Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
There are so many things that can and do go wrong when attempting to hand feed baby birds, and burning the crop with formula that is too hot is just one of them. Not sure if you've read the following sticky yet, which was written by a very dedicated and knowledgeable member of our Forum, but the list of things that can go wrong is very long indeed!
So you bought an unweaned baby... Improper hand feeding or weaning techniques can cause any number of chronic health and/or psychological issues later in life and I'm so sorry if any of these have impacted Sagan, but he certainly seems to have found himself in a very good place now that he is with you!

Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
If this is scar tissue, I find it hard to think is causing active elevated results in your 3 year old parrot.
My first GCC, I got from pet store had scaring closed of one nostril from aspiration during hand feeding. That's what I was told, and tge nostril was non functioning fir her life of 17 years, led to sinus infection throughout her life.

Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
Gravage feeding, which is done by some breeders to chicks, is a method of brining a tube directly into the chicks crop, greatly speeding up the time to feed each chick. When done correctly it should not damage the 'throat', but many say it is bad psychologicaly for the chick because it does not promote a healthy feeding reflex. Its possible the breeder was a dumb ass and did it incorrectly or used the wrong equipment.

Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
My theory as a surgical neurophysiologist by trade (on humans) is that when we damage a nerve during a surgery, and the nerve has to repair itself, you see the same heightening in muscle enzymes over a much longer period of time due to the nerve tissue trying to repair. When we do cervical procedures on humans the vagus and rln nerves can become damaged, same with improper intubation, so I wonder if this is something similar. It's just a theory. I mean who knows, biopsy is tomorrow. Also, if there was consistent trauma during hand feeding, the damage could have been so severe that every time he eats he may be eliciting the need for new tissue. |

Re: Lacerating throat or trauma during feeding?
I don't know, I'm clearly freaking out. haha a stressful job does not help the anxiety aspect of trying to figure out what the hell is growing out of my brand new parrots throat. I'm like all over the internet trying to find SOME KIND of example of this to ease my nerves, because clearly this is a much better scenario than cancer LOL |
