Late last night there were two instances where Gerry went thud in his cage :-(
His cage is covered at night and sometimes he'll have a little scurry at the bottom of the cage before going to sleep. But last night it sounded like he fell from his perch. I went over and uncovered him to look for any injuries or if he looked sick in any way. He seemed a little confused so I comforted him and I guided him back up to his perch and covered him over again. Within the hour he did it again. After the second time I heard him crunching at his wings again.
Today when I got up, there were 3 small wing feathers in the bottom of his cage plus a bit of tail feather and one of his few wing feathers is dangling from his body at a undesirable angle. Should I cut it off or should I leave him to chomp it himself?
Could he have been having a nightmare or something? I don't understand why he would fall. He has a crazy strong grip (what with him being flightless).
