- YNA (Mad) Max aka Mean Max Green ~2002
Sulfur Crested ‘too Babybird 2015
Mad Max had been loose and wandering around on the floor and under the cages (we don't clip his wings but he doesn't fly). I saw him chewing on the woodwork and I tried to scare him back onto the cage with a broom. He was unhappy about this but did not appear excessively stressed out to me.
My wife, who would leave both birds in the cages all the time if it was up to her, came home and decided I had made Max too upset. I bribed Baby (the young 'too) to get back in her cage with a peanut but Max wouldn't go. Wife observed he was puking up something, panicked and called the vet.
He wanted her to pick him up but eventually she herded him back in the cage by threatening to use a towel. He's in there now, no longer puking but took a long time to notice the peanut in his bowl.
Max was definitely chewing on the painted woodwork and maybe some on the plaster & lath walls. He seems to be fine, eating his peanut.
I think he might have been regurgitating as a sign of affection, wife says that's not even a thing.
