I woke up to find Winston's face and half of his head all wet like he dunked his head in his water. I found a few seeds around his cage that I think he vomited up, they were in a slightly milky substance. When I first turned on the lights he looked rough (not fluffed up, but just confused and weary), but shortly after he was acting normal. I know it's not a good sign that he has apparently thrown up seed and that he may be hiding his symptoms.

I offered him some warm birdie bread but he didn't touch it - but he kept going down to his dish wanting his usual breakfast of seed and Nutriberries. He was being very antsy about his normal breakfast not being there so I have given him a small amount of seed and a Nutriberry. He's currently eating.

I'm staying home at least for a little while to watch him. If he vomits again I'm getting him to an emergency clinic. I'm going to call my AV as soon as they open. He appeared to be fine when I put them to bed last night. His droppings that were in his cage from yesterday look normal but I have clean papers and I'm watching them now.

What you describe does sound like he vomited Sarah. How is he acting now that he's eaten?

Poor little guy. My prayers are with you and him, keep us updated.

He's up on a perch beak grinding at the moment. I haven't seen any evidence of discomfort yet but I know not to rely just on their actions since they hide things well.

The radio just came on and he's started vocalizing and singing.

Edit - I have a fresh poop and it looks good, good separation.

Hope things settle down soon and that you wont need the vet.... as you say they do hide it if not feeling good. for survival.. so will keep good thoughts going..... will check back after I get back in...

Hope Winston is OK. Keep us posted.

All the best.

Its so scary when they cant tell you whats wrong! Good luck! any possibility you caught him being naughty with a toy he's in love with?

I hope everything is ok! It does sound like vomit, and white and milky typically isn't good, but since it was seed that could account for the milkiness. Hopefully he just ate something that didn't agree. I had the happen once with a bag of pellets, the pellets were bad. Poor birds, I had 6 amazons all throwing up on me! The were fine when the the pellets were switched, but what a mess! And wat a vet bill!

It wasn't super milky, just very slightly. The evidence of a few seeds flung here and there that had the same look to them, along with his super wet face, tells me it was vomit. He ate the exact same thing as Jerry last night and Jerry seems just fine.

He's been a little sleepy thus far, but not anything super out of the ordinary I don't think - they all nap on and off through the day from what I've seen when I'm home in the afternoons. He's not super fluffed up and sitting on the bottom or even in one place all morning.

He's eaten more and no more vomiting. And his droppings still look good.

It is so hard when they can't explain what's wrong!

I know it tears me up when things like that hapen, i just look at them beggin them to tell me what the matter is.
