lordtriggs:
I've been wondering if the medicine might cause some of her symptoms, we'll see how it goes now that she's off all medication again.
About the learned behaviour, i doubt it honestly. but i can't be sure. If she would purposely regurgitate her food you would see her do that by movements. there are no movements now.
Plumsmum:
They looked at the x-ray photo's and concluded that everything was normal except for one thing, one of her lungs was not perfectly visible, exactly at the place where she has those red sored on her stomach, so they concluded that thats where she's leaking a little bit and some body fluids trying to protect her insides are pushing onto her lung. (explains the shortness of breath).
So far i cant really be sure if she swallows any of her food on her own, i always have pellets, seeds, nuts and water in her cage and a few times a day i will offer her other things like mash or fruit etc.
Right now she's destroying a banana chip, but i'm not sure if she swallows it.
Every time i put food in her beak she just shakes it out, also with formula. i have to put it at the back of her throat in order for her to swallow it, also she pushes food out with her tounge if there is any formula leftover in her beak instead of swallowing it. I was wondering is this normal for an unweaned bird?
Also its really hard feeding her becouse she thinks my fingers are giving her food instead of the syringe, so when i put the syringe in her beak she stops bobbing her head, then grabs my finger again and bobs like crazy.
