Saw WEIRD video of grey, wonder if it's true?
I just saw a video on the MSN homepage online... the video was about an AG who apparently hasn't slept in 18 months because his foot got attacked by a "wild" animal and he lost one "finger" so he can't balance to sleep?
18 months.... without sleep? Is that possible? The video was kind of sad, the cage was smaller than small and this woman was poking at him as it looked like he tried to swing away with one foot... just wondering what's up with that video?

Didn't see the video but sounds like he is being abused. Losing one digit shouldn't be that devastating but my depend on which one it is.

Birds usually sleep on one foot. Losing a toe wouldn't cause problems unless the bird had some other issue that made balancing difficult.
I don't think it's physically possible to survive for 18 months without sleep. The bird has to be sleeping and his owners are too dumb to figure it out. It's pretty obvious that they don't know much about bird care.

yeah, that's what I was thinking!
The video almost looks like a news video too, they actually did a story on the bird not sleeping for 18 months I just thought it was so silly!

well, if they made the cage for disabled friendly, he would be able to sleep better. he also has a broken toe on the other foot...

It said he has not had "a good night's sleep" for 18 months. I'm glad they're finally doing something to help him.
