Bailey had a relapse so keep an eye out. I had thought everything was over and weeks later he had to be taken back. It takes a long time for all the paint to pass his gut! Anyway good luck. Bailey had three X-rays and the last show some paint flakes still there. Next visit for just an annual I will have him checked again. You never really get over this. If Bailey even looks funny I still panic. He is in a Stainless Steel cage now and no cheap bells left on any toy. Bailey was in such a state I thought for sure he wouldn't make it. He stayed days at Blue Pearl the first time and again a few weeks later! It was hell for me and continued for months! The worst is the damage it did to his sweet and trusting personality! I gained his trust back but it took some time. My husband on the other hand has never gained his trust back! He runs from my husband which to this day is very sad in deed! He use to love my husband! As good as he is with me he is not the same bird I started with. I love him dearly but would love to have the Bailey I had before! I have been spending a lot more time with him lately and he is getting better! These guys must really have a memory! They are smarter than you think! I had to give him meds and he hated it! Unfortunately I had to towel him after a couple of weeks! At first I could just put the meds in his beak but I guess enough is enough and it went down hill from there! Meds had a terrible taste! Good luck to you! Hope you find my post listed above! Have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
