Just an update on Charley or Charles as he often call himself. Most days he is doing well, he is still insisting on sitting with me to have his breakfast ( the breeders mix). He has lively spells, talking a lot and insisting on climbing all over with me, but most afternoons he sleeps a lot. So good days and not so good days, but considering how he was, he is doing OK…….I still give him Metacam occasionally when I can tell he has discomfort, but not often……..On a really good note, he foot a has improved a lot and he is using it more now….he still bites it a lot though……. So all in all considering what he has been thought this summer, he has amazed me.

What a good boy he is. Funny that he calls himself Charles

So glad ‘Charles’ is on an even keel now and his foot has improved. You and he are a formidable team

Good news. I'm always amazed at stories of the little budgies recovery - they are so resilient!

Worried about Charlie today. He has been moulting for the last week so I would expect him to go a bit quiet, but today he hasn’t been well at all. He has been out but just to sit on my shoulder close to my face…he is fluffed up and silent. He is extremely grumpy and nippy. I just popped him back into his cage and then caught him and gave him a dose of Metacam. He is now sitting on his cage door fast asleep again with his head tucked under his wing. He has red millet in his cage but doesn’t want it…not usual for him……..So yes he is worrying me, but nothing more I can do , just hope he picks up soon….🤞🏻

I too hope Charlie picks up again. Just another one of his bad days, I hope!

Maybe just an off day, together with his moult?

Sorry to hear Charlie is having an off day. Moults can be really draining for them, so I hope he rides it out quickly.

I hope Charlie perks up. Maybe he's having a little rest. I have been very tired today too.

He seems much more lively today, but he has just had a small seizure while he was sitting with me….he lifted one wing and stumbled sideways. It only lasted a few seconds but always frightens him……..

Poor chap. Glad he's more lively though.

I'm glad Charlie is feeling a bit more lively today but I'm sorry to hear that he's had a seizure. I hope he feels better still tomorrow.

He has looked really miserable all afternoon and mainly sleeping……It’s really difficult to know if he is in any pain, so I am going to give him some Metacam……..I hate doing it especially when I don’t know if I am doing the right thing or not…..
