A very scary moment

I kid you not, I just had the scare of my life right after watching a set of videos from the AG Forum about Gray growls. Ziggy was playing with his toys upside down and next thing I hear is a crash and the angry growl/scream. I've heard him make it before when he doesn't want to be touch by someone new (but will let them hold him), but it was not to this intensity. His right wing was caught between the vertical bars of his cage and he was stuck. All I could think was a broken wing. Fortunately he's fine...he didn't want me to touch him for a while (like anyone who's been hurt)...but I hope NOT to hear that growl like that ever again!

I'm so glad he wasn't hurt seriously. I can only imagine how scared the two of you were!!!

Oh...it was pretty scary...I think I was in mummy mode at that time...and I still have 6 more months before I have to be that way! *lol* Anyways, I know he was scared, because I tried to help him out and calm him, but he decided I was better as a piece of chewing leather than mum (no broken skin though). Oh well! About 5 minutes later he was snuggling in my lap and flapping his wings.
