This is very important to me to know my birdie is in good health so I will be calling the vet for at least some advice but not sure if I should pay the cash to get a check up since I am basically broke right now. However if any of you think it would be a good idea please say so.
He's a Green-cheeked Conure and has had a deformed beek for a while now, not sure how long exactly. I was relieved to hear that clicking noises with the beak is usually because of him feeling threatened which I have a very good reason to believe it's the truth, so it's not because his beak is hurting him. One side of his beak is fine, but the other side has a ridge along the curve of the beak and it sort of has grown so there is a small seperate dull point on the side.
He has been doing the clicking thing a real lot, but I mainly noticed it when I came back home from college, after my parents bought my sister a freaking CAT.
So yeah, I still haven't forgiven them for that one. You'd think that they would have the common sense not to bring an animal that could easily eat one of our other beloved pets, who is very intelligent and can feel pain and fear just like us humans.
So I figure this cat who is now causing me stress as well is a major problem. Now it's been about 5 years, I'm just waiting for the thing to die so I can get on with my life, although it's a nice cat me and Mohawk are like brothers Ive had him for over 15 years. Sometimes the cat just sits there on a chair and stairs at him, but never really tried to attack him. It annoys me when I mess with the cat while its staring down my buddy, and the cat get annoys, then my parents tell me to leave it a lone. It's like how FARKING ignorant can you get. Don't get on my back when you brought a predator that basically would be eating small animals for a living.
On the bright side the cat is declawed, but that doesn't mean much since it still has teeth and an appetite.
I am definately going to either get a new cage for my room to keep him with me more often, as the cat doesn't usually go in here since it hates me anyways because I think it can sense that we are not on good terms. However is it possible it could be causing Mohawk a lot of stress? It seems this beak clicking thing started when they got the cat, and sometimes he does it constantly. He also now chews the crap out of all my shirts, I only wear my white undershirts at home now but the collars are starting to get torn in places and there's holes all over the front. Not sure if this is related to the stress of the cat and/or insecurity, or if it's something else to do with his funky little beak that he has now.
If anyone has advice it would be great to hear, although I'm sure you would agree with me the best thing would be to find a more secure and friendly atmosphere in my room.
