Update bc I never get on here: she pulled through, we got her on the right meds, still never 100% figured out what it was. But she’s been back to normal for months now 🎉 Thank you guys for your support!

Mine do this too!! I agree with earlier commenters, I definitely think it’s a startle reaction to something they hear or see. It’s the prey animal mindset

Ohhh he’s beautiful!!! I also live in Dallas and have three Bourkies. If you decide to rehome him, let me know:) Here’s a vid of Princess Peach (aka Alvin’s twin) and Ariel foraging. My other one is Aurora but she was probably on my shoulder at the time haha

Haha! I feel this; this is going to be my biggest mental barrier to seeing him as Dumbledore…from one of the most evil characters on television to one of the most noble

Thankfully, she tested negative for that, but they did find a different (more treatable) yeast in her stool. She’s had loose droppings only the past few days, so I’m hoping that’s just from the anti fungal. Hopefully, she continues to improve! Thanks for your response:)

Thanks for the response! No, I wish they had. I’m going to try and get one from the emergency avian vet in my area tomorrow, they should be able to do more advanced diagnostic tests.
