Thank you all for the messages of support. I really appreciate it.

He didn't put up much of a fight when I caught him to put him in the carrier. Easier to user bare hands rather than a cloth as it is easier to hold him safely and securely. Remember that he really doesn't like me, so this kind of firm handling should result in a bite or three, but he wasn't up to it today.

The vet said that it was likely that he would get worse before he gets better. We have to wait for the meds to kick in. They have only been in him for 24 hours. We have been told to monitor him through the night and call the vet if his condition gets worse.

This evening, he was quite perky, but his breathing was laboured and quite raspy. His stance is normal and his feathers are not fluffed up. He really appreciated a cuddle from Yin and he calmed down a lot .

Hopefully he will get a good rest tonight. He will be going to the vet again tomorrow afternoon.
 
these birds are so wonderful but also so delicate in many ways, the important thing is to try not to stress the bird and then its patients waiting for the medication to kick in my thought are with you and Yin as I know the worry you are going through.
 
We gave him his meds this morning and he seemed no worse or better, but he has now been referred to Manor Vets (Edgbaston, B'ham), where they will be doing full bloods, x-ray, etc. He will probably be transferred to the Halesowen branch as they have a hospital staffed around the clock.

He didn't eat much yesterday, so that would further weaken him.

Of course, we are closely monitoring the other birds. They all seem fine, showing no symptoms of anything.
