Thanks so much for the advice -- so far he's not stressing in the cage so we're just going to keep trying to give him as much time immobilized as possible to allow him to heal. My daughter just wishes he'd stop crowing because he's in HER room! Will make a note of other remedies in case we...

She is cawing (honking actually) continuously, every minute or two she fluffs her wings and makes a...
Yazzo, I found your info on a google search and it all sounds good. I, however, have a little different situation and I am hoping you can help me out!
