Hello all,
I’ve read a lot of information that says that birds will hide illnesses and injuries. Long story short, any time anything at all happens with our boy (e.g., a clumsy landing, night terror, odd poop), I’m terrified that he’s sick or injured and hiding it. So my question is, how well can a bird really hide these issues? If he’s eating, drinking, pooping, wandering around, preening, stretching, contact calling, getting into stuff, saying “peekaboo” and otherwise acting normal, could he still be hurt or sick and hiding it that well? Our boy is 10 months old, been with us for 8 months. He is very much loved and we spend a ton of time with him. I would just like to be able to relax a bit and worry a little less.
Thanks in advance for your input!
