srnity:

thanks. its my guess that it will jst come down to whether or not his body can fight the sickness on its own or not. he does seem to be more active now. my mom claims he is just depressed, but then again she never even looks at him. the last time she paid attention to the birds was 3 months ago.

I doubt my parents would be willing to pay a single dime. "too many bills" is their excuse. my my mom said if a vet is needed she'd rather just open the door and let him fly away...I care about those birds and I hate not being able to do anything for them...My nephew loves those birds ore than I do...he is the only one the birds trust. whenever a pet became an inconvienience they got rid of them. maybe if I could just find out what is wrong with joey then...maybe I could convince them to take them to a vet.

I just found ut that zoey has diarreah(sp?) I was playing with her and asked "whats wrong?" she answered by looking at me and....you know....then proceeded to make a kind of laughing sound. so...yea.

they are both around 3 or 4 years old(in human years, dunno animal years) He seems to be getting a little better, he started to flap his wings again, though not as fast as normally. Zoey still seems to be fine. She even learned to eat some of the seeds as if she were holding a candy bar. I'll ceck out that link right now. and thanks for that scarlet rose. appreciate it. we also can't really aford a vet at this time though =( to many bills. if it were up to me he'd already be at the vet...

<my mom has a cokatale(sp?) named joey. he is all white andhas a yellow head. as a bird...he isn't very well coardinated. he falls off of pearches so often its amazing he isn't dead... he also seems to take his time from getting around the cage(I think he is scared of falling o_o)

anyway...the other day, joey was just standing on the bottom of the cage, right in the center doig nothing at all. usually he is either eating are gaurding those eggs they have from my dad.(>_>;) but not this time. it was like he had no desire to do a thing. he wouldn't eat or drink water. his cherps...usually loud...are now a tiny squeek. even when he bites your finger...he is usually quite strong...but not now. my dad took him ou of his cage to check him and the feathers around his rear end are all green. he eats now but just very little, and noting big. he hasn't drunk water(from what i've seen). whats wrog wit him?

Zoey, the grey and whte one is perfectly fine.(to be honest, she is the exact opposit of joey) she climbs the cage so fast its unbelievable. she jumps from one end to the other with no probem. She also has a mean streak and will attack anyone that gets near her(except joey). when she bites she bites to rip off your nail or skin. and she is in perfect health. they are kinda funny cause joey is usually well behaved and zoey is so aggressive. but yea....I just want to know...what is wrong with joey? (btw, we had them from around 3 or 4 years)
