My name is Kheri, and my babies are Franky 
and Cyrus. They were re-homed from a fellow bird lover. I have had them for about three years. They are loud and messy and like to throw food at me and I love them. They are so relaxing to watch, especially when they are being silly.
But this morning was scary for me. See, when we get up and get the family's day started, I uncover them and tell them good morning while have my coffee. Well, this morning, Franky ( she is my lady bird), something scared her or something!! She started flying all over her cage. Scared she was going to hurt herself I tried to calm her down and let her out. She flew to the table, hit some tumblers, and flew to a near wall. I picked her up and held on to her for five minutes. I petted her and tried to get her breathing to slow down. Until she got spooked again by our dog, who saw her in my hands. She flew off again and land on the floor. With the dog restrained by my husband and kids, I picked her up again and put her back in her cage. She stayed in a corner just hanging on to the sides.
It really bothered me when her head just started to fall back and she just stayed like that till I adjusted her wings. They had been open and poking through the cage.
Unfortunately, I had to leave to take my kids to school. When I got back say thirty minutes later, she was eating but had not come out of the cage. I had to leave again for about an hour and when I returned she was back to her normal self.
I was so very worried about her, I called the closest aviary vet I could find, 1.5 hours away, and I am still waiting for them to call me back. This was at 8:15 this morning. Now my "Birbies" are sitting together on the perch grooming each other and looking down on me.
I have had birds most of my life and but I have never had one act like this.
I am not a big "post" kind of person so I might not post much. But if anyone hashed this happen to one of their babies please post. I will read and respond as soon as I can.
Thank you
