My d'Anver roo is acting weird.I think he cut the roof of his mouth. There's a streak of blood running down his throat.
If it's blood perhaps soft foods, like oatmeal and cooked eggs. There is also a worm called a gapeworm that lives in the throat, so look very close and be sure, since that is red too. Sometimes the male and female worm will link and stay, so they can look like a "v" or a "Y". Those will suffocate a bird, so serious! The birds affected will shake their head to try to dislodge the worm, much like they do if they have lice.
Thanks, fuzzy. I looked it up, I went out to do the Q-tip test but he was not excited about that. Of course, he's fine letting me look earlier, now, nope. He doesn't have any trouble breathing........ I dunno, but he was sleeping normally tonight, instead of sprawled out. I moved him from the roost to a kennel, he was upset but I think he would've just fallen right off. He still scratches and pecks and preens normally. I haven't looked at his poop because he's been with everyone else today. I'll look in the kennel in the morning. He doesn't act really lethargic, except after he crows. I bet it hurts him, poor baby. I'll try the Q-tip again in the morning and we'll see........
