yea I hope so too.
Just occurred to me that I haven't shown you all the area under Eddies wing that had the vet particularly concerned. Eddie is asleep, so tomorrow I will take a photo. It might make a bit more sense for you all to be able to see exactly why we are concerned (other than the screaming and odd behaviour).
I have hardly heard anything unpleasant come out of Eddie's mouth for the last 1-2 days. The occasional squawk does occur, especially in the situations I described, however it has been just 1 or 2 screams and then silence/chatter-boxing. A few screams is fine, he is a parrot and he needs that release and needs to communicate (he has always screamed a bit, but just 'normal' amounts). I think encouraging the whistles over the last month or so is starting to pay off. If I hear him whistle, no matter where I am in the house, or if I am outside, I whistle back. This seems to reassure him that I am still around and he can relax a little. Being able to spend a few more hours a day with me seems to make him happy.......it also makes me happy. I love turning around and seeing his little eyes looking at me lol. He didn't 'speak' as much tonight while he was in his cage, instead he just talked gibberish and made lots of funny sounds lol.
