You know what if you put it in an accent you have actually understand it. Well done!!

You lost me at LOL,

Lol, mind must have missed the meaning of the word lug!!

I took the bird to vet in Sheen, somewhere in Richmond. I am not sure of the name of the vet as it name after the vet. Hope that helps. Yeah the bird does it all the time. Even when holding him he twists his neck. Definately look disorientated.

What would I actully be looking for?

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a "LUGHOLE"?

Thanks, will defo let everyone know what the tests reveal. Thanks everyone for your help.

He breathes normal. Does not open his mouth to breath. Did not like the fact that beak was being held, lol. Also his eyelid is a light greyish colour and compared with the other pigeons is the same colour. Hope this helps.

I was actually worried it could be something neurological as he comes from a very inbred family. Is that possible?

Will do the tests tonight. Will need my flying partner to help with the colour check as I am colour blind.

It does not drink more than normal and still eats. Only when its looking around does it twist its head. The droppings are firm. To me its odd that its the only one bird thats got it. If it is paramyxo it only has the one symptom of it and thats the twisting of its head. Also its a stock bird that got it and it has not been in contact with new birds for about six months now. It just seems strange.

I guess you are right and a good vet would have given advice. I just want this to be over and done with. The stress is killing me lol.

The vet did not know what is wrong with bird so could not offer any aftercare advice. I think he will after the blood tests come back on Wednesday.

Well the bird is still twisting its neck and the droppings are still firm too. Also the bird is able to eat properly and is not missing the corn. I just pray this is not paramyxo and that the bird will get better soon.

Well I went to the vet with the bird and because the droppings were firm and the bird was eating the vet ruled out paramyxo. He still sent off for a blood test which we will get back sometime next week. He prescribed Baytril and Metacam which I have to give him for ten days. Will update as soon as I know anymore. Thanks for all the help.

I have just fed the bird in question and he eats fine. His droppings are firm too. Could it be that he has maybe bumped his neck and its just sore?

Hi Guys, I have an appointment this evening with an Avian Spesialist to hopefully it will get sorted. I have been advised to innoculate the rest of my birds straight away. This is really one of those moments that I wish I never started up with pigeons. Should just have admired from a distance.

Hi Guys, I hope someone can help. I have a two year old stock cock that is twisting its head sideways the whole time. I dont know if it is paramyxo as they all my birds were innoculated last year july. I am really worried about the bird as I paid a lot of money for it. Is there anything I can do? Thank you David

I quite frankly think he is better off without them!!!

I actually felt good watching their facial expressions change once they heard her. They were quite nasty to her in the bigginning and it was great watching them eat their nastiness. Serves them right. Apparently Cowell has said he will sign her up if she wins or not.

It seems like this lady has had offers as far as the US for interviews. Its just nice to see there is still some good out there.

Woohoo lets ban everyone. Its seems to be the in thing these days!!!
