Concure I’m back corner on the bottom of the cage all of a sudden

Hi, I have had my sun concure Zazu for about 2 weeks now. He’s 3 months old and all of a sudden is in the back corner of the cage. He lunged and hissed at me when I went to fix one of his toys that he dropped and when I changed his water. He’s extremely friendly towards me and has never done that before today. He’s eating and no abnormal colors or consistency in his fecal matter. I just want to make sure it’s nothing to worry about.

I’m hoping that’s the case he now has fallen asleep at the bottom of the cage. I saw another thread about how it’s typical with concures, I’m going to be keeping a close eye on him tomorrow since the closest avian vet near me is out of town and he’s eating and pooping normally.

Definitely!
For the future a great tool is a digital kitchen scale set to grams weigh weekly and log. Probably hasn't reached full adult weight yet up to 2yrs. But in drop in weight greater than 4% body mass even when no symptoms get them checked by a vet as most times they drop weight with health issues and when caught early by weight loss its easier to treat and savev them. Because by the time you have sick burds symptoms they are very sick and likely bern sick for awhile.

Okay! Thank you for the advice I will be getting one soon then.
