He has said he's quiet and a bit puffed up, but he has been puffed up before.... I think it's just my dad worrying as usual but I thought I would get people's views on here...

Hi Burydean Thanks for the pic, but we will need some more info. Is he just sitting fluffed up and sleeping all the time? Is he on a different perch that he would usually sit on? Also, what are the consistency of his droppings, are they looser than normal? Is he warm? I dont know where abouts you are in the world are you in the UK? IN the pic he just looks puffed up relaxed but if you can tell us more about his behaviour that may help  |

He is fluffed up, his droppings are the same, he isn't sleeping out of the normal from when he does. Yes we are in the UK.
One of his perches is broke, that he likes and I'm replacing it today...

Well that's a good sign if his droppings are normal - is he singing at all and moving around the cage like he usually does? It might be because he is a little cold that he is fluffed up(thats why I asked if you were in the UK cause of all this snow)!

Is he still eating a drinking normally too? It does sound like he just maybe a bit chilled, make sure he is out of the way of drafts and if possible put him near to a radiator so he can have a bit of warmth (obviously not directly next to it) but cover the back of his cage to keep him warm. Let us know how you get on and hope Joey is ok |

Where is he positioned, is he next to a window? Just keep him warm and keep an eye on him |
