Silkies jerking head and funny movements!!

[DarleneE]

Can anyone tell me what to do? Both my approximate 4mo old Silkies keep jerking their heads. However one of them, the little black one is also doing a really weird movement with her head as well. You can see it clearly in this video. They are eating and drinking and active so far. I'm really very worried. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Darlene, you can also ask in the Silkies thread as to whether or not this is neurological and what other Silkie owners do for birds with this condition.

Does she only do it when you are talking to her? I think with their vaulted skulls some tones echo. Or possible wry neck if you have them on medicated feed, silkies can develop vitamin deficiencies.

Thanks so much for your reply but she's actually stopped doing it! It seems whatever it was she grew out of it.
