DYH Amazon Sleeping A Lot

[MangosMama97]

We brought Mango home about 3 months ago now and he already had his wellness check-up. The only thing they said was he's a little overweight and needs a healthier diet. I've noticed over these months he's a frequent napper as his previous owner said. It's not all day, but he do be a sleepyhead. He has periods of activity where he's all over the place, then he naps for a while. Should I be worried?

Just my usual two cents... if you want a second opinion.

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.
If none are near you, maybe you could call and ask for a recommendation for somebody in your area.
And... sometimes, distant vets will offer brief thoughts or advice...
Or... sometimes I find a place to start just by Googling "avian veterinarian near ((your location))"
Or maybe a local breeder might help... again, maybe Google?

I'm glad you're here. This is the best, most educational, supportive place on the 'net!
