Please value your companion for the priceless, living creature they are; not for what you might have paid for them.

Question My parrot started vomitting so i took it immediatley to the vet.

Answer Your question just got to me - tell me more about what you're seeing when he vomits.
Is this a head pumping motion and then delivery of partially digested food, or is it a head shaking back and forth with a flinging of thick, sticky substance that ends up everywhere, including on the bird?
