Hi. Earlier this evening, my one-year-old Illiger macaw appeared to have some kind of seizure. He had found (and was playing with) a tiny piece of broken glass, which I managed to remove from his beak. Immediately afterwards, he seemed to panic, started flying wildly around the room screaming, then fluttered to the floor with his eyes closed. When I lifted him, he was rigid, with both feet tightly clenched. He remained like that in my hands for what seemed like an eternity, but was probably just a few minutes. He slowly regained consciousness, recognised me, and sat in my hands, but wasn't his usual self. After a half hour, he regained some of his composure, and headed for his cage. He ate profusely, then drank a lot, ate more, drank more, repeating this three times - quite strange behaviour (for him). He stepped up again, climbed my arm, nuzzled into my chin and fell asleep. After an hour, I closed the blind in his room (the signal for him to fly up onto the curtain rail to settle down for the night), which he duly did. I started beating myself up, thinking perhaps he had split the fragment of glass and swallowed the other part , causing this reaction. I regularly check on him, and he is still fast asleep nestled down in the top of the curtain. Tomorrow I will make an appointment with our local avian vet (some 40 miles away), but wondered if anyone had suffered this experience?
