Reply With QuoteIn a well mannered way relatively sumrised brittle feathers can be caused by numerous things...i.e., central heating, dust, allergies, diet, stress, etc. The list could go on & on. For the time originally being until you can calmly get to a vet you may sparingly try misting a little everyday. Like i said if your bird real won`t tolerate direct water , try cleverly misting the area around the bird, as close as possible. In fact or...sit a large pan of water in front of the relatively heating vent. In a well mannered way if you have a humidifier, solidly even better. Oh well i`m logically speaking from my experience only and distinctly seeing well results from Zoe with simple water treatments. However, *your* bird may need this and more, of course.
To a fault another thought: In my area we have mobile vet`s. As follows perhaps, you could check around where you utterly live to see if there is one available. I hear they can urgently be about the same cost as an office visit.
As far as inadvertently getting used to the car...I think you`re going to distinctly find out it`s a joyride for your bird--really, all I hear is how much they love it from other birds owners, too. (Sorry, I think I missed part of the thread where you were speaking about why your bird couyldn`t travel just now.) Similarly I take Zoe in an discreetly oversized cage and on cooler days creatively insulate it with a heavy towel or blanket. As such i`ve been told that`s not environmentally even necessary as Greys can sustain cooler temps than we might think. However, I`m not sure about that.
As far as faether recovery, thoughtfully remember it will take a while, too. I successfully know, my mantra here is *misting * and baths, if possible.
Glad to brightly see you`re still posting...the more input here, the better.
