hellsbellz Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've noticed that one of my young birds is struggling to eat. When he attempts to eat from the feeder he tilts his head right back, at first I thought he was throwing out the corn that he didn't like, but this isn't the case. Sometimes he looses his footing entirely. I filmed him on my mobile tonight (apologies for the quality). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnYt7tgSmwA Any advice greatly receieved.

Guest Davy Fleming Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sorry mate but would be very careful with the rest for the time being but youv'e got to fear the worst but would certainly seek professional advice immediately on this one but can only go for paramyxo.
