Blue galah cockatoo free#

I've got the whole day free tomorrow, so I think I'll see if I can get Dominic into the kitchen for some socialising. As soon as I put the old perch back, he was fine. Then, when I removed the original dowel perch, he nearly had a fit! He fluffed up all his feathers, tucked his head under his wing and sulked. I've given him natural branches to try and encourage him to climb, but he doesn't. Monica, when you say 'daily exercise', what would you suggest? Dominic literally sits in one place on one perch all day long. If infection gets in, this could have dire consequences for Dominic! In an ideal world, I'd love to have the lump removed so Dom can be more active in his cage.Īny and all help/suggestions will be most gratefully welcomed! My main worry is that sometimes the lump gets caught and bleeds. He's on a sunflower-free diet now and I'm trying to get him to eat fruits and veggies (no luck so far, but still trying).

Mind you, I doubt whether any of these vets has particular knowledge of birds and I'm still trying to find a bird specialist within reasonable distance of where I live.Īnyway, I thought I'd ask here whether other people have had experience with these fatty growths and share some knowledge.ĭominic is a sort of rescue bird, having lived the last ten years of his life in a tiny cage with nothing but sunflower seed to eat and no company or toys. I've seen several vets about this and all say 'nothing can be done'. The big one is about the size of a lime, while the smaller ones are more the size of a marble. There's another one behind his legs and another right near his anus. My Galah, Dominic, has a huge fatty lump or lipoma hanging off his tummy and between his legs.
