Hello,
We have a Sapphire Gem that is about 7 months old and for the last 3-4 weeks, she has been frequently going from acting fine>taking shorter and shorter steps>sitting down for brief periods. Her last few steps when she does this will be very short until she sits down. She seems to have her mouth open more than the other birds as well.
She can get up if she wants to (ex: we come with food, other birds peck her, etc.) but she will revert to this behavior shortly thereafter. She can run around fine...until she can't.
We have examined her and it doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with her legs or hips. Crop seems fine and she has been dewormed recently. None of the other birds cooped with her are exhibiting like behavior.
Thoughts about our Pebbles Bird? Thanks in advance!
