I am very confused.
My green cheek conure seems to be itching his tongue a lot (?). I've only noticed it since yesterday, and it looks very unusual, he sticks out his tongue and then uses the tip of his beak or sometimes the bars of his cage to scratch it. I've seen this behavior only once before, over 2 years ago and it passed after a couple of days.
I'm thinking he might have some food stuck somewhere or something is bothering him, but his tongue and beak look normal to me, no signs of injury or anything out of the ordinary. The weird thing is that he only does it in his cage. When hes outside he stops and acts completely normal.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any help would be much appreciated!
He's been to the vet a month ago due to a minor teflon poisoning incident but he was cleared and they checked him a week later as well and said theres nothing wrong with him at all. I'd prefer to avoid going again so soon because I paid a fortune last time and my wallet is crying, also I tend to be overly paranoid, so I wanted to ask here first.
Worst case scenario maybe I'll wait it out and see if it subsides in the next few days. It's so tiring to always worry about him
