How do I tell if my parrot was hurt by my cat?

[happycat]

Okay so, I have 3 cats and a dog. One of the cats loves sneaking into Kirby's room (we keep the door closed at all times) and looks like she wants to eat him. She somehow snuck in about an hour ago when I was feeding Kirby so she was in his room for an hour. Could she have hurt him through the bars? They are relatively close together, if you stick your pointer finger in it gets stuck halfway. He has no bite marks or wounds, no blood, no feathers, he's acting normal. But I know birds can hide things very well. Is there anything to worry about? How do I know if he got hurt?

If he doesn't have any wounds or bite marks, and is acting normal, then he most likely didn't get hurt. Most small birds have the sense to get out of the way of a cat batting it's paws in the cage... If you've checked for those things, and he's fine, then he's fine.

Most larger birds would take the opportunity to teach the friggin' cat a lesson.

My sister has three cats. We had a problem with my birds messing with the cats, not the other way around. My CAG was particularly enthralled with torturing the cats.

Thank you! She does this so often, I really need to get her a bell collar. She makes absolutely NO noise. If she doesn't get him through the bars, she could knock the cage over, or give the poor thing a heart attack.
He's small, but I wish he was big enough to tell of my cats!
I love her, but oh my gosh she can be so annoying sometimes.

In my experience, a bird who is even swatted at by a cat goes BEZERK. If you were in the house and didn't hear a commotion, I highly doubt anything happened. However, if you ever DO hear what sounds like a bird fighting for his life and then find the cat in the room, take the bird to the vet. Even the smallest scratch, even one you can't see because it is covered in feathers, can end the life of a bird due to the bacteria cats have on their claws. But it doesn't sound like that's the case this time

I actually had headphones on at the time, but my sister probably would have heard him. The time his foot band got stuck in the cage, I wasn't home but my mother said he was screaming so loud she thought he was dying. xD

The one thing I don't know about is under the wing. I can't check because he hates when I touch his wing.
