Re: Microchipping Problems?
For such a little bird that is like major surgery for a person. It's going to take some time to stop hurting and replenish what was lost having the microchip implanted. I've not had any bird chipped but I have had my cats and dogs done over the years. It's not a small thing for a bird to have stuck in them. Personally I'd rather use these but they are easy enough to remove I guess.
Just keep your bird confined for a couple of days and keep an eye on him. Rest is probably the best thing for him at the moment. |

Re: Microchipping Problems?
I am no expert, but my fully grown rose breasted cockatoo was quite tired and pouty after she was microchipped, so I would assume it isn’t unusual for him to feel icky for a few days. I hope he feels better soon!!

Re: Microchipping Problems?
Likely your Parrot is feeling better today.
Microchipping a young, small Parrot has its risks and IMHO your Parrot was a bit young. And, to that point, I'm not overly surprised that s/he is sleepy. If your Parrot is still not up to par, connect your Vet. FYI: Fixing the lock on a screen door is a very simple DYI project and requires little more than a new door handle or lock assembly and a phillips screw driver. Take a photo of the inside and outside of the door handle / lock assemble and visit your local Hardware /Big Box store. Or, it could be as simple as adjustment of the latch(s) on the door frame.

Re: Microchipping Problems?
We are renting our unit, and the lock assembly is such that the entire door needs to be replaced. The company the management contracts out ordered a replacement and it came in damaged... at which point they were supposed to order another door but didn’t. We are in the extremely arduous process of getting them to actually do anything about it. In fact, the bent screen door is currently taking up a ridiculous amount of space in my hallway because Home Depot still hasn’t sent anyone to pick it up.
We had him chipped on the veterinarian’s recommendation. I didn’t know that it would be such an intense procedure. The staff acted as if it was very simple, safe and routine. He is acting fine now, but we are certainly keeping an eye on him. Edited to add: We had always intended on chipping him as accidents happen and he is mostly flighted, and we didn’t plan on clipping in the future. The door issue made it a little more immediate, but the info I could find online was conflicting (BirdTricks has a post that says birds as small as 60g can be chipped safely) so I honestly did not know his age and/or size would be an issue - as I said our vet was comfortable with it. I had been given to understand that leg bands, since they can get caught on things etc, were somehow less safe? Last edited by ravvlet; 08-09-2019 at 03:52 AM. |

Re: Microchipping Problems?
Hmmm, I was not aware that Home Depot had a pick-up /delivery service. In the past, it had been handled by the installing contractor. Learn something new everyday.

Re: Microchipping Problems?
Me either, but when I called they said they’d have their special order person contact me, which didn’t happen haha. It’s definitely got tags with the Home Depot logo and info on them! Not sure how that worked honestly.
Cricket is doing great. In the future if we ever end up with another bird I will definitely wait to chip until they are older or over 100g. ![]() |
