Hi gang, Iām rly worried about my ringneck Rosie. She has been what looks to me like toe tapping since Friday and has been biting her leg as a result.
I took her to the vet two days ago and they checked her for mites and said they couldnāt see any but put a spot treatment on her anyway and have me a cream for her leg wounds.
From what Iāve researched Iāve found this toe tapping is mostly seen in eclectus parrots and is usually because of their diet and can be fixed if changed.
The only recent addition, recent being 3 weeks now, to her diet was a seed mix so Iāve taken her off that and am now only feeding her fresh veggies and fruit in the morning and afternoon and then Harrisonās adult lifetime pellets in the evening. I took her off the seeds a couple days ago and Iām not sure, if it is a result of diet, when Iām supposed to be seeing a change. Is there anything else it could be?
My thought is that she her tapping is involuntary and she is chewing her foot because she doesnāt know whatās going on with it. Iāve noticed itās a lot more severe at night, literally looks like happy feet. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you<33 Iāve attached a video too!
