Hey guys - we got back!
So, it seems i was much more worried than the vet! The whole time she commented on how calm and friendly and cute he was.
She said he is *very* bruised, and that he could have a fracture - but she didnt want to do an x-ray because she didnt think he'd be able to wake up afterwards. Right now she wants me to watch him and make sure he's eating and drinking, like I've been doing, and to to let him rest alot, besides checking on him to make sure nothing looks worse. If the bruising gets any worse or i notice he starts acting worse (like I've said he's better than when i first made the app.) to bring him in again.

Since he started looking better yesterday i am SO relieved it isn't even funny. My mom and dad think i am crazy and was over reacting but i was WORRIED. i dont know what I'd do if Higs died..

I can NOT wait until he can fly again - and this DOESNT happen ever again.

She also tried to give me two lovebirds, lol.
And when she found out i'm getting an african grey, she said "Oh.. Good luck...they're loud! "

Keep an eye on him for the next week...check his poops...do yo have a scale to weigh him????
This would help to see if he starts droping in weight...you want to get him back to the vet ASAP....weight loss shows up very quckly if there is a problem...
