Beak fracture?

Postby DanielA » Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:06 am

Earlier today I was playing with my parrot and fell off my shoulder, kind of 5 feet 5 inches. Didn't worry then, but when I put him in the cage I noticed a slight line I hadn't noticed on his beak, but he was playing just the same, any advice?

Post a picture of the fracture and we can have a look. Here's when it happened to Kili.

Thanks Michael, but I think it was just a fine piece of my sweater that stuck to his beak. :mrgreen: 8-)
