Our Sky is only 11 weeks old. I work from home so he is never in his cage and therefore not very happy when he has to sit in it during the day. My mom and naphew are visiting and we were out all day yesterday. When we came home we had discovered that one of the food dish doors had not been properly latched. It opens upwards on a hinge. Sky had pushed it open and had his head stuck in the hanging door. He could not pull his head back in. I have no idea how long he had to sit like this. He has been hanging his head low since then. I feel so terrible, he would not let me put him down so I cuddled him until 1 last night.
I don't know what to do. My instinct is to take him to the vet. However, he does bob his head for food. He is also eatting, drinking, moving around, and preening the feathers on his belly. He is acting normal today other than holding his head down. He loves when we lift his head and rest on our fingers while he falls asleep. Last night he would not let me put him down. Today he has been content to do his usual thing. I am praying that his neck is just weak and sore with no permanent injury... If I do not see any progress by tomorrow I am taking him into the vet.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Their little necks are so fragile. I am the worst bird mom.
