Bingo.
I am a bit worried about Bingo.
In the end I will probably be taking him to the avian vet next week (if he is not on vacation).
I don't like my avian vet as far as a making a good diagnosis goes. He always does the same thing. He find gram negative bacteria in the crop and gives me antibiotics.
Every Time.
Bingo has not been panting like he tends to do in winter but his breathing looks off.
It's like his whole body lifts up/down with each breath. Like his wings are raising and lowering from his shoulders. Not all the time just sometimes.
When he sits with me he just falls asleep he doesn't want to play and I have seen no hormonal activity with him.
I have also noticed he sometimes has slightly droopy wing tips. You know how the "fingers" of the wing if not tucked up all the way can be seen hanging lower than the rest of the wing?
The Twins.
Luna & Merlin are generally doing well.
One of the twins (Luna I think) sneezes more in the morning than all my big birds combined. Only in the morning. I should take both birds into the vet if for nothing else to get a DNA test.
Handling Merlin isn't much of a problem but Luna is very fearful and still 1/2 wild bird.
Getting Luna in a transfer cage would be difficult and could ruin what small amount of trust we have built up.
I have a 2 minuet video of the Twins calling back/forth I hope to upload later today.
