Just got back from the vets and it's not the best news I'm afraid. The vet strongly suspects PFBD (psitticine (sp)beak and feather disease). He is going to do a DNA test to determine for sure,possibly early next week.If it is that then there is a good chance that Birdy and Sherbet will also get it or already have it, as it is a slow incubation period. So it is just a case of waiting for the test and results now.

Jules, I so know how you feel. I'm still waiting for my test results, now I've been told it might take til the end of the month. Your poor, poor little mite. Please keep us updated, and feel free to offload your feelings on to us, it is a very stressful and emotional time waiting for these results. ((((((Hugs)))))))

Oh thanks everyone,I really appreciate all your thoughts. I've never been in this position before and now I see how much it helps. The vet has just rung to ask us to take him back tonight for his DNA test.

well we've been and Budgy has donated 5 breast feathers-he was as good as gold and never made a fuss.
