A friend of mine called frantic that she had a bird in her pool. She knew that I once had a parrot and called me...It was a beautiful teal and blue keet...as I have never owned a bird so small I was not sure what to expect but took it home...did some research and noticed that all the pics I see of keets have big beautiful eyes....I can hardly see the eyes on this bird...could have clorine in the pool have affected the eyes or do some keets just have smaller eyes? Any advice would be helpful...FYI: He has dried out and is beautiful, friendly, and seems very healthy.

lets hope he didnt swallow any pool water id get him to a vet ...

welcome to the forum i just wish with many of you it didnt always have to be for emergencies.

take a cuetip with some cool water on it to try to flush the eyes but be careful not to get water into the cere/nostrils...

and be gentle.

Not sure what you mean by can hardly see his eyes?

I'd keep him warm and quiet and watch for signs of respiratory problems. Sneezing, heavy breathing, tail bobbing while breathing, any type of discharge..discoloration above cere.

Welcome to the forum Seyski. It was very nice of you to take this little one in. Please keep us posted on how it's doing k?

You might want to leave a night light on for him so he isn't in total darkness at night. They tend to get night frights sometimes and don't like pitch blackness. Best if they can see a little if they get frightened.
Best of luck. I hope he's going to be just fine. Geez what a thing for him to go thru huh??
Do you have an Avian vet close by? You should st least look in to it so you know where the nearest one is in case you need one.

yes because he if swallowed any chlorine that will burn his insides.

My parakeet got out one day and landed in the pool but because she was used to her little pool she was able to tread water in the big pool til we fished her out. I actually was so freaked out I ran her under running water before I realized what I was doing. She dried out and has been fine ever since.
