This will definately be easier to keep track of health issues and for members to easily find them. :-)
I would like to welcome everyone to our Health Room! :cheer:
I will begin the process of moving topics into this room in the next day or so that are appropriate. We have many.
Please feel free to get started here with any Health issues or questions or advice you may have, topics pertaining to our birds, any birds. Some examples such as: feather plucking, eye questions, skin problems, eye concerns, changes in behavior, illness, things like that.
**Please note: ANY FOOD QUESTIONS, PLEASE POST IN THE BIRD FOOD ROOM.
Don't worry if your not sure which room to post in, use your good judgment, I can move your thread to the appropriate room if need be.<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2008/10/29 22:15

Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.

Thanks Penny for the rooms, I understand we have a rescue room also, good job in getting these for us.
Never take life seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!
Pogo's one eye is a little pink. Not the eye it self but the skin around it. I can't see any scratches or marks of any kind, so is that normal? He can see out of it just fine.
It's normal. Could be from scratching, banging around toys that banged him back. Happens from time to time.

Ok Thanks! I was worried.
Thanks Talon for the new rooms, this is a great idea and will be really useful for all of us.
Hello again,
I posted somewhere, I'm not sure where but here it goes again.
I have been noticing of late my african gray is having twitching movements with her head, not all the time but when she does it is frequent. 2 or more times a minute, jerking twitches.Just in the last week. I do not think it is an ear problem but am concerned it might be a neurological problem or chemical imbalance. My question is, do you see this behavior in your birds or have you heard of this before? And do you know any bird doctors in Houston or League city area.
Thank you
Sincerely, Crystal...
Dr Gary Harwell DVM is in the Hobby Airport area he is the Vet I use and is both Avian and Zoo certified. Clinic is not imposing but he saved a Molluccan with a badly infected leg bone who was near death.
An injured grey bird some times suffer from shock. This means that blood vessels become inflamed the blood supply,specially to the toes. These feel cold. To counteract this. keep the bird warm in a box with a wrapped hot water bottle.The condition should not last longer than 3 hours. Bach's Rescue Remedy is helpful.
