Does this mean he is sick? or could it mean something else and should i jus keep eye on him everything else looks normal? too.he stil a little chirpy. his cage is near a radiator which has been on a bit ut not on full but we have now turned itoff if this could mean nething? i dont wanna take vets unless absolute neccessary as they dnt do much 4 brds and i dont want to distress him ne more than need be?

My name is I'll give you a clue	He does sound sick but if hes been next to a radiator he could be just very warm and sleepy. move the cage away from there he has no need for the extra heat. if he is still fluffed up in the morning you will need to take him to the vet , Jackie - scooby will be on later she will know where there is a vet near you.

The vet's name is Johanna Storm, and she's based at Shearbridge Vet Centre, 2 Legrams Lane, Bradford, BD7 1ND. The number for appointments is 01535 605033. I'm not sure whether they're open on the weekend, but its worth a try if you're concerned
