Need a specialist vet.

Bloke at work had similar issues with his lad's parrot and took it to a regular vet who could do fuck all but refer him.

Still died the next day regardless like.

Is he a talking bird out of interest? Has he said owt?

Supervet can sort anything out

I've just noticed that our lasses parrot is breathing quite heavily to the point you can hear him clearly. This doesn't seem normal , he normally doesn't make a sound unless he's talking or clicking away to himself. He's still moving about the cage and responding to gestures to come and get a stroke like, just the breathing is a bit worrying.

He's never been to a vet apparently, and we aren't sure if we should cover him over and leave him...or should we ring someone?

Can he see the "Random Lasses you want to Buck" thread over your shoulder?

He's perving, hence the heavy breathing.

Rub a little bit of Vicks menthol on his feathery chest.

Be right as rain in the morning.

The house isn't cold or anything and he's at the back of the kitchen. He was fine one minute, we had something to eat and then noticed it when we were washing up.

Don't keep your parrot in the Kitchen especially if using Teflon pans, in fact don't use any non-stick cookware or cooking oils as these items can be toxic for parrots and there are lots of dangerous fumes in the kitchen from cooking. If food gets burnt also noxious fumes that can cause harm. Should also not use Iron near them . Keep my African Grey in the sitting room. If you can see your parrot has a problem they are generally not well as they tend to disguise the fact as its seen as a weakness in the wild and could lead to them being harmed/attacked by others or singled out by predators. Hope this advice helps - could just be as simple as moving his location.

Can't parrots talk? Ask him what the matter is

 

[EchoMan]

Same thing happened to our lasses pony but it turned out he was just a little horse.

Couple of parrotcetamol should sort it.

 

[StripedPaddy]

All animals stink. I'm not getting into one of these arguments again.

Wor cat doesn't.

 

[Billy Fish]

Take him to the vets down the square or before you know it you'll have a polly gone

Really though, get it to a specialist vet mate, birds pop off in a matter of hours. As said earlier in the thread they will hide any ailment to avoid getting picked out in the wild.
If it shows signs of illness it's possibly at deaths door.

Wor cat doesn't.

Cracking feline Paddy, we have an all black tom called Bob. Funny thing, thinks he's a dog though, plays fetch and meows at the door when someone rings the bell.

Put it in a thick woollen sock, it will be like a sleeping bag and keep it warm.

 

[becs]

How's the bird this morning @KST?

Definitely go to the vets and get him checked out if he's still breathing heavily.
