Thank you Bird Vet Melbourne for saving my bird!

I took my cockatiel Peako to the vet when I noticed he was vomiting.

After a few seconds into the examination, the vet knew immediately what was wrong.
Peako had been chewing on natural rope that I used in his cage to tie toys/branches. He had ingested a concerning amount of this fibre & if not acted on fast by an Avarian specialist, would have resulted in death as it was sitting in his stomach impacting his digestion.

I adore my little guy to bits & would never dream of doing anything to harm him.

Unfortunately, Avarian vets see fibre impaction regularly as almost all bird toys contain some element of rope.

If you have rope in your birds cage I highly recommend removing it immediately.

Please please please be aware of what you are providing your bird. Rope toys look pretty & fun but they are just not worth it.
