Hi all.
I have noticed today that Xander my Quaker Parrot is struggling to climb slightly and just doesn't seem his usual active self. He is just slower than he normally is. He will come for food still but not eating too much and he hasn't come to train all day and usually when hears the treat tub he's like lightning to the training spot. He's even dropping treats.
He was having the time of his life last night in his cage destroying his wooden climbing tower. I was actually really proud he's starting to spend hours keeping himself occupied as well as all the attention I give him.
I wander if the wood from his toy has made him ill maybe? its the first time he has chewed through anything and he got through it pretty quick.
He is hopping up on stuff, just slightly slower. His environment is wiped everyday and properly cleaned every 2-3 days so everything's always clean and safe. I have started giving him big pumpkin seeds from fresh pumpkins from Halloween but I rinsed them off with water so maybe they could be the reason? I have checked his feet, there are no wounds and he is flying still just not as much, his wings look ok too.
Id appreciate any advice please, its the first time he has been unwell x
