611.0. "Have you seen this problem?" by DPDMAI::SIFTAR () Thu Sep 19 1991 01:23

    Has anyone seen this illness/problem:
    
    We have a cockatiel that started shaking/kicking one leg, then the other
    It seemed that possibly they were tingling. Also noted was a frantic
    preening of the lower body and upper tail. She exhibited the symptoms
    one evening. The next morning the symptoms were gone. We took her to
    the bird vet, who had seen the behavior before and said it was not
    serious and would go away.  He did not have a medical/clinical name for
    it.  Does anyone here know anything about this???

    One of my lovebirds had an episode with the leg action much as 
    you mentioned.  I took the bird to the vet and no problem was
    found.  It only happened that one time.
