So my adorable WCP named Fonzie is absolutely the apple of my eye. I can't believe I love a feather butt so much. He is about 18 months old (got him when he was 4 months old) and is DNA sexed a male. He love scratches, but is not super cuddly. He always wants to be next to me though. So today, he seemed very sleepy and was cuddly. He kept wanting to take a nap. He ate his breakfast, but didn't destroy it like normal. I got so worried he was sick, I jumped in the shower and got ready to take him to the vet.

Of course when I came downstairs after my shower with my hair wet, he went nuts as usual. He destroyed the rest of his breakfast (freshly sprouted beans, peas, seeds, etc). I gave him a pepper from the yard, he immediately took it to the top of his cage and destroyed that too. Now he is talking up a storm, and hanging upside down on his gym and rope banging his toys around. He is now preening and looking very smug that he gave me a slight heart attack thinking my boy was sick... what a booger. So now he is acting normal, eating normal, and his poops look normal.

I think he was just tired. One of my dogs was especially bratty last night and was barking throughout the night. I think he just didn't get a good night sleep. Neither did I :(

Update: I went to bed early and watched TV in another room so Fonzie could get plenty of sleep. The dogs wore their bark collars (the vibrate with a remote, don't shock) and all was quiet. Fonzie got a good 12hrs of sleep. He woke up his usual self this am. Talking, flying and eating! Feel better today.
