He falls and is just fine, chipper and playing. This has the sound of may be a problem with the "roosting" leg. Like a pinched/damaged nerve. Even arthritis.
It also has the markings of an inner ear type problem which is linked to sinus.
Just speculating. Food for thought.
Now it's appearing to be neurological. consistency in when it happens is a sign of something.fell at 4:30 am. All nights except one he has fallen around 4:30. The one night he fell at 1:30 and 4:30.
Arthritis! Wow. Is it preventable in birds?Sorry Saroj. Jasper has significant arthritis and when it is hurting her a lot it makes her fall - Just an idea to mention to the Dr.
No it's not preventable and most (not all) late middle age or older birds have at least some arthritis - just like us old folks.Arthritis! Wow. Is it preventable in birds?
My oh leaves for work at 4:30 am but he is nowhere close to the bird room, plus he's very quiet. Been on this schedule for years. John he's going to the. Vet tomorrow, I'll discuss the neurological aspect with her. Thanks everyone.ok, I have question, is it possible that BScoot is hearing some type of noise that is frightening him at 4:30Am? if it is happening the same time every time could it be something that is alarming him ? I know that Rocky would be freaked out about 2 AM until I figured out that the train whistle that is about 3 miles from my house was freaking him out.
His perches are now low enough that he can't hurt himself in a fall, right?
Jasper was falling quite often at night, because of the lack of grip in her arthritic feet. She has been sleeping in a crate now for at least a couple of years and she asks to go into her crate when it is bedtime. It took her three or four days to get used to it.
These pictures were taken before I put a thick soft dog bed in there.

Saroj, do you have DMG?
It helps sleep and neurological issues, arthritis, its all natural.
Ask your vet tomorrow.
