nervous

Cochran used to be very tame. Now he screams a lot and acts like he’s always wanting to fly away from something that frightens him. He’s always on alert. He drives me nuts with his screaming. Ideas on what’s going on with him?

I recently took Java (my gcc) to the vet because he had a bit of a sneezing fit and I wanted to make sure he was okay. He had a bit of a rough drive there and back but the vet said he looked great and everything seemed normal other than a slight overgrowth of bacteria in his mouth that he now...

He has shown a lot of improvement. He is nearly always out of his cage now, tries to get our attention, shows us that...
