I'm not sure if this will help because your grey is older, but when my nine month old got sick and would not eat I surenge fed her a mixure of baby food and pedilite. That will keep him from dehydrating. I don't know if that's right, I'm still knew at this, but it saved my grey's life. Good luck! I hope your bird gets better.

Yes I would try baby food, mashed banana, mashed sweet potato, anything like that. Has he been put on any medication?
I think you should get him back to the vet.

24hr parrots sell two good products for parrots who are not feeding due to illness this is a link to there site if it dont work type it in your brouser and do it that way. and the products you are looking for are as "poly aid" and "critial care formula" both are emergency nutrition for sick birds. i dont know were you are in the world but they do mail order and if you explaine its needed fast they are usually good with orders. this link addy is www.24Parrot.co.uk make sure he gets plenty of fluids to keep him hydrated and if you can get your hands on an infa red heat lamp put it near to him but not directly shining on top of him. but close enough so he can get warmth and rays from it. and try not to stress to much as they will pick up on it and you dont want him stressed out as well. good luck |
