Poor guy!! Good thing for making the appointment! Were you able to get him back in his cage or a carrier? Maybe he will settle down and then you can get a better look

All good things! Do you notice any fresh blood on him or perches/bars of cage/bottom of cage?

It does suck, and its so very scary. But it's far more important to establish that he hasn't damaged an internal organ or his head. The feathers will grow back. But for sure a good sign that he's taking on food and water. Hugs coming your way. :hug8: :hug8:

It's good that he is eating, drinking and not bleeding everywhere. Hopefully he is just fine but I'm sure the vet will give him a though inspection to make sure he is ok.

Once he gets used to kids and more activity he probably won't be so easily spooked.

:hug8: And best wishes for his appt.

Very true! Once he gets acclimated to the activities and movements of the household he should be more at ease. Some people say that greys take a little longer to adapt to new environments (I wouldn't know Charlie seems to be the exception to almost every preconceived notion about Greys) so hopefully it will get better with time
