Generally parrots are very healthy and when provided with the correct diet and care they will live long and rewarding lives.

As with all wild animals your African Grey will mask any signs of illness, it is important that you get to know your birds daily routine as changes in this routine are usually the first indication that all is not well.

Once you have established that your bird is ill it is essential that you contact an Avian Veterinary Surgeon immediately. Provide remedial assistance to your parrot by increasing the temperature of its environment. You can find your local Avian Vet by looking in our 'Useful Information' section.
