Little Lemon's Head...
So i'm kinda concerned about how Lemon holds her head...Shes been doing ever since she was able to hold her head up...She holds it up to the side and even when she lays down she has it in the same position...Every ONCE in awhile i will see her hold it straight but let me tell you thats on a rare condition that she does that...i dont know why but i'm a little worried about it and none of the others do this...should i be worried like i already am???
Here are a few pics of how she holds her head....

I know next to nothing about baby lovies but that does look odd to me. Have you consulted your avian vet?

Oh, no... poor little thing. You're right- not normal.
Have you asked Linda? Does she scoot around like the others? Does she hold it straight when she tries to move?

As others said it is not normal. I too would have to say talk to an AV. Is it possible that she was injured? Maybe during the cat incident?

I found out from Linda(another forum) that she has the disease "Stargazing"...
Here is the link if anyone wants to read on it...http://www.avianweb.com/stargazing.html I have noticed that Lemon has had this since hatching and im hoping that it goes away by itsself or it can be fixed by doing wat the vet says...wish me luck!!!
