You have helped me several times with my dove, Kiwi, that my mom raised from a baby at least 15-20 years ago. Up until now (since the last time you all helped with his arthritis and bumblefoot), he has been doing great again. Now all of the sudden he is doing something very strange. He will be walking or standing in his cage and then suddenly lift his head way up and then backwards over his back and then fall over backwards or sort of do a sideways flip. He will do it several times--slowly and spaced out from each other--so it doesn't "appear" to be a seizure--and then continue on with what he was doing or where he was about to go in the cage. Then he will do it all again. I just saw him yesterday (husband says he saw him do it since a week or so ago and didn't say anything because he is just stretching--husband is NOTORIOUS for NOT knowing if something is ill or even dead on one occasion). I told him I wish he would have told me because this was the first time I had seen it. Is this a stroke or something else--anyone ever seen such behavior or action before that could let me know if it is something I should DEFINITELY be concerned about or not (obviously, I'm thinking it is!). Thank you, as always, Sherry answer in here or email me at [email protected]
