Our parakeet keeps his head ****** to his right and we just noticed it today, what could be wrong?

Question

What should we do?

We will not be home tomorrow to take him to the vet.

I'm taking my son who is home on Spring Bread to Chicago tomorrow and we got an Aunt to take Stewie to the vet. I will sleep better!

Stewie CAN move it all over but keeps it to the right most of the time - not straight. He did not want to fly today during exercise time.

Answer 1

I doubt that he has a 'sore neck'. He may have an ear or sinus infection. He needs to be treated by a veterinarian to clear this up.

Your parakeet will probably be given oral antibiotics for a week or two. Hopefully, whatever he has won't be spread to the other birds. If you notice any of the other birds acting 'funny', they should also go to the vet.

Answer 2

Hi there. Our companion birds sure can act silly to us. Get his favorite treat and move it around his head. This will tell you if there is a problem or not. If he can eat and drink, then the condition is probably temporary like a strained neck. If it were broken, he wouldn't be with us anymore. Keep his environment warm. Use a birdy tent for rest. If he hates it, just put some treats in it. He will love it in a day or 2. Hang in there. Use your good judgment as to whether to take him to an avian vet or not. Eating, drinking, chirping are all good signs. Have a great day every day.

Answer 3

Is he acting kind of "dumb" or clumsy?

Ear infection.

Vet.

Baytril.

My birds are getting over something like that. I just came back from the vet and she said that one of my canaries might have a virus and a bacterial infection.

FYI I am in North Carolina, if you are in the region there might be some sort of avian virus that is popping up.

Answer 4

it probably isn't anything serious. The bird may have better sight out of one eye or he's just looking at something. If the bird starts showing signs of distress or it isn't eating, then I would take it to the vet. Good luck!

Answer 5

You mean he NEVER straightens it up? Did this problem come on suddenly?

Do you know if he was handled roughly (even if by accident)?

It's possible he flew into the side of his cage or into something in the room if you allow him to fly outside the cage.

It is possible his neck is damaged and it sure would be best if you could take him to the vet.

Best to you!

Answer 6

Take the bird to the Vet as soon as possible!

Answer 7

Put yourself in his position and see what he could be looking at. Birds don't have binocular vision like we do, so they have to tilt their heads funny to be able to see. There might be something that seems threatening to him. If it's something that he thinks might be dangerous, he'll keep an eye on it. Long, thin things tend to bother my mom's birds, we think it's because they think it's a snake.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Maybe your right-wing slant on everything has had an adverse affect on his spinal cord...

Kidding of course. Birds can develop cricks in the neck. It's usually not serious and most likely will self-adjust.

Answer 9

Sin. i might say rapidly up the undertaking is the demonic blood the e book of enoch teaches in the days of noah angels mated with people - noahs kinfolk replaced into the only organic human kinfolk, so subsequently he replaced into stored from the flood the bible additionally says in the final days it particularly is going to be as interior of comparable to noah

Answer 10

You want facts about 911 being an inside job??
Interestingly, the burden of proof is no longer on the "conspiracy theorists" but on those who have stood by the government's official claim that 19 hijackers with plastic box-cutters financed by Bin Laden, out smarted the CIA, FBI, NSA, FAA, The Pentagon, and our Multi Trillion Dollar High Tech Military by crashing 4 planes without any intervention.

The following is fact and is irrefutable:

FACT: Bin Laden is NOT wanted by the FBI for the 9/11 attacks. Check out the FBI web site. Reason? They don't have sufficient evidence to convict him. Perhaps this is why Bush said he really doesn't care if we catch him or not.

FACT: There are hundreds of televised claims from the morning of the attacks saying that witnesses heard or felt explosions prior to the collapse of the towers. These include firefighters, police, news reporters, security guards, employees of the WTC and civilians.

FACT: 47 story - WTC 7, we are told, collapsed from fire alone. This was unprecedented for a concrete and steel frame building. Furthermore, it fell symmetrically at free fall speed. Science and deductive reasoning will easily support the cause of this collapse as DEMOLITION. Fire does not have the energy to do this. Besides, Larry Silverstein declared on TV that they “pulled” building 7.

FACT: The steel from WTC was shipped overseas before an investigation was even opened. This is the greatest destruction of evidence and malpractice in the history of forensics.

FACT: Thousands of first responders have been afflicted and some have even died from respiratory failure. The government will not support investigations into the many reports which show that these heroes have micronized steel, glass, and concrete in their lungs. Fire, and the collapse from gravity would not produce this type of dust. Demolitions, however, supports the evidence.

FACT: We were told that NORAD didn't intercept any of the planes that day. This spans from about 8:24 A.M, the time of the first report of a hijacking, to 10:06, when the last plane crashed in Shanksville Penn. NORAD has a prior track record of intercepting planes within minutes. Standard Operating Procedure was not followed that day. The Bush Administration changed their story several times. We must also look at the fact that President Bush ordered Cheney to take control over NORAD the morning of the attacks.

FACT: The investigation into 9/11 was initially opposed by the Bush Administration. The 9/11 families pressed for one. They got it, but with remarkable conditions. The total costs of the investigation, including the NIST report, was only $16 million. The cost to investigate the Space Shuttle crash - $50 million. The cost to investigate Clinton - $42 million. In other words, the greatest failure of our defenses deserved less money than the shuttle and Clinton's perjury. What an insult to the 9/11 families and the loss of their loved ones.

FACT: No one has been fired for the failures of 9/11.

FACT: Right before the attack a spike in “put options” on Boeing, United Airlines, and American Airlines increased dramatically and was never investigated. Millions are still unclaimed. This indicates people knew in advance. Why didn’t the FBI check out these leads?

FACT: In August 6, 2001 A Public Daily Briefing Memo that was titled BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN THE US was brought forward. Yet prior to its declassification, we were told by Rice and Fleisher that there were no warnings. Had this news been made public, couldn't travelers, law enforcement, and airline workers have been a little more guarded or informed to notice something that day? Wouldn't we have guessed right away that the first report of a hijacking was indeed a terrorist? Or would we have dismissed it as "one bad pilot" and continued to read "My Pet Goat" while America was attacked?

FACT: When the United States is under attack the first measure is to secure the President.
The entire nation knew 2 weeks in advance that President Bush would be at Booker Elementary Grade School. Why did his body guards and secret service men let him remain at this location for 20 minutes after the attack? Holding the book “My Pet Goat” upside down while he tried to address a bunch of 5th grade students?

The bottom line is - If the deaths of 3000 people occurred under the control of a corporation, people would have been brought up on charges of criminal negligence. Immediately! Despite the growing movement and mounting evidence into the WTC collapses, the government still has made up its mind that it is fire that brought these buildings down and that 9/11 was simply a failure of imagination. They feel no one is to blame. This was the conclusion they had prior to the investigation. What the 9/11 Commission produced is the anti-thesis of the scientific method. Much of the evidence was outright omitted. Since they determined the conclusion prematurely. Do you understand?

If you were an underwriter at an insurance company, or an architectural engineer, or a fire marshal, wouldn't you want to know what really happened in these buildings? If you were a pilot, or an FAA employee, wouldn't you want to know which NORAD employee stood down, failed to requisition intervention or just plain messed up that day?

To dismiss the overwhelming evidence that explicitly shows how hundreds of questions remain unanswered suggests a cover-up by our government. Conservative thinking has taught us to keep government in check 100% of the time.

More and more people are joining the 9/11 truth movement. We are unstoppable. To deny the smidgeon of facts presented here and the many others unmentioned is akin to being like those who have denied the Holocaust. It's intellectually dishonest.

Go ahead and give this a thumbs down if your Patriotism is of the cheapest kind. Yours is the kind that our forefathers would have laughed at. They demanded that we question authority, as they did. Our Constitution provides us with the means to explore the truth and to keep the government in check. But even the Constitution has been threatened as of late.

So, give it a thumbs down if you wish to cling to your Cheap Patriotism and your unconditional loyalty to a President and a Government that has demonstrated nothing but contempt for Accountability, Truth, Constitution, and most importantly - the 9/11 victims, their families and surviving rescue workers who continue to suffer the loss of their loved ones.

Peace, may the truth be brought forward and the guilty be brought to justice.
