From Quebec. Thanksgiving weekend i had my gouldian and both waxbills outside for the better part of the day. Hardy little things who get veggies, eggfood, egg shells and vitamins. I have no idea what this new bird ate up until now and he's 2 years old. Possibly just seed.
Hes calling to my birds now so i think its safe to say hes over the worst....now to acclimate.

Another fellow Canadian, woohoo! We're taking over the Forum

I'm from Alberta, and we've had lovely weather this Fall as well. So so lucky this year.
Give your boy some time to fatten up a bit on some good food and get in good shape.
Good luck.

Total turnaround today, he was bouncing off the walls in his hospital cage like a mental case at lunch and making a racket calling to my birds. He's been eating too.
Case resolved! Guess it was just stress caused by change of temp and environment.

Nice job getting the little guy up and running again! Sounds like he has a lot of new friends in the future
