My poor little Kiwi bird. Before I worry you, she's fine.
She was just playing on my keyboard with the lid of a flash dive while I was working and she started screeching like she was dying!! Her poor little foot got caught between the keys. She is heavy enough to press them down (she loooves to help with email), and she must have pressed one down and then it came up over her foot and squished her little toe! Boy did she let me know it. As soon as I touched her she was able to get her foot free, and she flew right down to the floor. I picked her up and made sure she was okay. Her toes look fine, she isn't favouring them or anything, I think she just gave herself a little scare.
After I picked her up and checked her over, she was leaning towards her cage (a clear sign she wanted to go back), so I let her hop in, and then she started clucking/clicking at me, telling me about her scary ordeal! She's pretty much right beside the computer desk, and once I sat down again, she let out a peep as if to say "that was scary! But I feel better now". :rofl:
I was scared for a minute too. I couldn't figure out why she was screeching so badly. She's playing with her toys now, so she must be feeling okay.. phew.
