I really hope Winston is okay. I know how you feel when you just aren't sure if there is a problem or not. I just said a little prayer for Winston and you.

I hope it's nothing serious. Good that his poop is normal, that's usually a good indication that everything is fine. Maybe he was just showing some affection to something, and then shook and it went everywhere?

I hope it's something that simple but I don't think it was him regurging for a toy. I was quietly getting ready for work as usual this morning and I don't turn on the lights and give them breakfast til 6:45 or so. They don't make a peep until their lights turn on and they weren't stirring at all this morning while I was getting ready. They all remain on their sleeping perches and that's where Winston was and as soon as I turned on the lights and said good morning I saw that his face was all wet. I've never seen him regurge for a toy either (other than his mirror toy that came home with him). He doesn't play with toys very hard like Jerry, he mostly just sings to them and gently nibbles rope ends.

I hope he was just regurgitating. I am not sure about another explanation at this point when his poop is fine. Is Winston by any chance a midnight muncher? It was probably too early for him to have had breakfast.

As a matter or interest baby birds vomit if they have just had formula and the crop gets bumped, it all comes right up.

He's not a midnight muncher that I'm aware of. He generally eagerly climbs down to eat breakfast as soon as I get it in his dish. He has food in his dish over night so it is possible that he got a snack. Before I turned their lights on I was softly talking to him and watching him and he yawned and stretched as usual (I like watching him wake up, he's super cute). It looked like he hadn't moved from his sleeping perch in awhile.

We said a prayer for little Winston. Be brave and let us know how he is doing.

Thank you for everyone's good thoughts and prayers. Although I've been home all day I've let him rest and have just recently gotten the birds out. Winston hasn't come out just yet, but he's calling to Jerry and singing to me now. He has eaten today, kept it all down, and his droppings still look good. If anything worsened throughout the day, even the slightest thing, I was ready to head to the vet. But so far so good, he's been doing ok.

Glad to hear it - hope he is Ok tonight.

Laker especially is a night-time feeder [after they are in their cages & the lights are out, we hear them snacking & climbing all over the cage]. Rio is too.
