Hey! I am new here. I recently got an African Grey from a family member that could no longer care for him. He’s been making this weird coughing sound and I’m not sure if it’s a legitimate respiratory issue or he’s just mimicking something he heard. We only have one avian vet in our area and she only sees patients one day a week so it’s going to be some time before they can see him. I’ve recorded him making the noise a couple of times and have uploaded it to YouTube. I am including the links in this post. If you could please watch it and let me know your thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. If it’s something serious, we are willing to travel to have him seen but we don’t want to do that if he’s just mimicking something he’s heard. Thanks so much for the assistance!!!
