No ideas on why he could be shaking his head.
Glad he's doing better, though!!

 

[Barnyard]

Thanks.

He does not do it all the time just every now and then. For all I know it may be normal!!

Oh Tiffany I am so gald to hear he is doing better!

 

[Wynette]

Tiffany, glad he's doing better - hpe the head shaking subsides!

I wonder if he has something in his ear? Humans can lose equilibrium if something affects the inner ear, but I don't know if this is the same with birds. Their anatomy is so different than ours.

If he felt dizzy, though, he might lower his head. Maybe it's close enough to being "out" now that he's just trying to shake it the rest of the way. If he's gentle and doesn't get stressed out by being handled too much, you might see if you can spy something in his ear.

Poor guy. I hope he gets better.

Thanks everyone.....

It is a gentle giant. I have been able to do whatever I wanted to him and he just sit's there. I will see if I can peek in his ear's with my little flash light. I hope he is over whatever it was. I have been out all morning cleaning the coop and run area. Hoping whatever it was he got he don't get anymore.

I was gonna say that maybe he got smacked on the head...head boink treatment would work for that in the future.

Glad he's doing better.

Just had a question. All my roos get layer feed. What is wrong with that? I have never heard of Roo Feed.

Just wondering. I hope he feels better!

 

[SpottedCrow]

Too much calcium for them so the roos can get like Gout.
And it's not good for their kidneys.

So what do I need to feed my roos?
