Oh gosh, dreadful. I can imagine the shock and terror you felt. Thank god you were nearby and saw. Poor Hector. Lots of millet and thumby. Hector is the one who is in love with your thumb isn't he? Yes, he used to sit on my hand and be obsessed with my thumb. Unfortunately he's been cage bound for a long time now, so doesn't get to sit with me as he cannot balance on my hand and just jumps off

He's 10 years and 9 months old. I can hold him and preen his head, but it only lasts a few seconds before he wriggles to get back to his cage. He still trusts me.

I wonder if Hector is thinking: "Thanks for your concern everyone, but I just needed to wash my face."
Seriously though, it was very fortunate that you were there to help him, Marianne. I hope you both have fully recovered from his ordeal.

I hope you both have fully recovered from his ordeal. I'm not sure he knew what was going on, I pulled him out pretty fast! There is no way he could have got out without help, he's only got one working foot and cannot fly at all. Lesson learned for me, thankfully in time!

It’s like the time Squawk caught his foot on a toy. It’s only fate we were there for them Marianne Marlow. The outcomes otherwise doesn’t bear thinking about 😳

Jane, Squawk and Hector were very lucky. Custard used to sometimes get his toenail caught inbetween the big metal washers that hold on perches. Luckily I was there everytime. Even when I clipped the toenails, it still happened.

Even when I clipped the toenails, it still happened. Honestly the hazards seem so numerous. Who would have even thought of that one.
