Grey hiccups
by: Anonymous

Honestly, as a long time bird owner, I've never seen a bird hiccup. Not saying they don't, I've just never seen it.

Since you provided very little information, its hard to say what it could really be.

I would certainly suggest you take your feathered friend to the vets to get him checked out. Find one that SPECIALIZES in birds. (not your typical dog/cat vet)

This could be a sign of something terribly wrong. Birds are like other pets, they too, need to be seen at least once a year for a wellness check-up. Especially since they will never tell you they are sick till they are moments away from death.

Let your vet examine, and test the bird if needed to rule out anything serious. Your bird could possibly have something stuck in his throat, (like wood from a toy being lodged) giving a hiccup type symptom bc he's trying to get it out.

Only a vet who can actualy examine your bird can determine the true cause.

Good luck to you both!
