Doc is an African Grey Parrot. He came to us after a divorce. We were under the impression that Doc was healthy and would have been a great candidate for finding his forever home. Unfortunately that was not the case after receiving Doc into our care. We intentionally noticed balding and flaking skin on Docs face. Immediately after having him out of the transport carrier, Doc tried to take flight and fell to the floor instantly. He was not harmed nor injured. Doc was not high off of the ground.
Doc had his vet visit and they found an ear infection which caused him to scratch himself bald on his face. The xrays unfortunately found that Docs has a severe case of arthritis and this is the reason he is unable to take flight.
Doc is an incredible bird and has a pretty big vocabulary. He’s so sweet and calm.
