Sometimes I wonder how I can be so slow. I've been struggling to figure out why Henry has been having skin problems. This morning our routine changed just a little and it all came together in my head. I have Henry and 3 parrots. I think his allergy is to the bird food cast offs that he slurps up in the morning. Today Henry got to play outside longer as it's warming up. He wasn't allowed to roam in the house and inhale and dropped food. He of course rolled in a poo pile so I had to bathe him. Last night he had big welts. Today they're gone and his skin in barely red. It's the grains from the birds I think. Jeez! How in the hell did I not see this before And how will I remedy it?? I can temporarily separate them but will have to fix something to keep the bird food in the cage instead of being thrown out. Maybe it's that simple! I may not need to change foods after all. Does this sound like it could be the problem to you??
