hi my foster ammie sophie is re-gurging when she eats at first i thought maybe it was cos her bowl was too high but ive lowered it an still she does it,she doesn't do it everytime but it is getting there,any suggestions on why she may be doing this ?she seems perfectly healthy in every other way (her usual self as my finger will tell you lol)

 Hi hun, if she is regurging in the presence of her favoured person then it's fine, but it regurging for no reason then I would definately take her to a vet, that is not a good sign hun.

 Definately something to be checked out, regurging for no reason can be a sign of various things, it could be a crop infection, and the sooner it's looked at and treated the better. Please make sure you see an avian vet though (think your nearest is Roy Earle in Solihull), as a non avian vet would not have a clue.

 Consult at Roys as about £17.00 plus any treatment, but he is very reasonable to be fair x

Avain vets are not cheap and to be honest it does depends on the problem. Do you have insurance?

I disagree, one of my birds was in for 3 days a couple of months ago, and it cost £130 for the 3 day care, plus treament. Whilst that sounds a lot, I thought for what they did it was very reasonable.  It does depend on the vets in question, as they all have different consult charges, plus different treament types can be more expensive.

if she is doing it every time she eats seed but not bringing anything up she STILL needs to be seen by a vet!
could you please advise me of when she is booked in for and what the outcome is.
Thanks
