If you are at all worried get to him an Avian vet straight away. My African Grey was put to sleep a couple of weeks due to zinc poisoning. He went down hill really really quickly & looking back there were signs that he wasnt quite right. Get urs to the vet even if its just to be on the safe side. If he is sick you honestly dont have time to wait around. I dont mean to scare you but to be honest I would rather you were scared than sorry!
