Ill again? Didn't you have a BBQ last time? Maybe a reaction to it? I couldn't have one in my garden ever because of birds.
Hope he is ok bless him!!!

I was wondering the same thing Bakewell, birds are very susceptible to fumes & smoke (canary in a coal mine). But I guess if got ill when you were at a BBQ & he wasn't then maybe there's no connection.

I still wouldn't put my birds anywhere near a fire or BBQ. Our fireplace has been cold since we got these guys, kinda miss it in the winter :(

We also have a co2 alarm near the cage, not taking any chances nodding

He looks good in the photos, except for his pins :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i made them put the bbq at the opposide end of the garden away from zooky (long garden) so i dont think theres any connection.

A molt could last weeks & they're usually a tad more crabby the first time they molt (they don;t know what's happening). Some birds will let you remove their pins, but I'm not sure if Zooky is tame enough, you might get a "love bite" or two!! eek drats :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
