Hey folks I am Koray from Turkey, and i have got a Timneh which is called Gargy ( Gargamel in cartoon smurfs ) i am trying to find a forum and which is about only african greys and i found myself here. Nowadays gargy has got diarrhea problem and interference-strip. 3 days ago we are training with gargy and he is make the action like slow motion and i saw the diarrhea problem and  i said myself i supposed diarrhea problem is about the weather because here is too hot about 45-50 C but second day gargy start to sleeping a lot and i i said its not weather...after cleaning his cage i saw the strip and i was shocked and take some medicane for him.Today is the 3. day to use the medicane but still we are diarrhea...I hope its going good because i love him so much and i dont want to lose him.He is amazing bird too intelligant like your birds:) These are the gargys photos.And again Hi Everyone.

I think your bird needs a vet, do you have access to one?  Welcome to the forum.

Hello ~waves~

I agree with the others, sounds like Gargy should visit a vet... birds can hide so much when they are feeling ill...  hope he/she feels better soon...

Hi guys thanks a lot for your friendly messages. i know Garys cage is really small for him  but i have some money problems in 2 mounths i will buy a A10...Gary is going good medicines effects are really good, he is not sleep all day today playing with his toy and some training with me  i hope he will be better. He is 1 year old. This bird is coming from syria to Turkey with illegal ways and too bad situation...We have only one parrot farm...But its not important because they are not hand feeding too only the place is different , not africa-here Turkey...I used some antibiotics and diarrhea medicine called avidiare(Turkish name).I thinks he will be better in 2 days.gargy eats every think vegetables,fruits ( apple,pear,grapes,cucumber,pepper...i mean what ever i give him, also i know the dangerous ones(avacado and parsley) sunflower seed, some other seeds...Thanks a lot again.

strip means this one, firstly i supposed with his toys rope but not it...

[carol]

wow that pic has totally confused the hell out of me i don't know what it is at all

It's not a WORM!!! Is it??

Also he is seen chewing on his cage and that gold color can't be good to chew....

It does look like a roundworm!

Birds with roundworms will have weakness, weight loss and diarrhea. You need to see a vet just to make sure and get medications for deworming if it is the case as it is dangerous if left untreated and will kill your bird. What is the medicine you are giving him for???

Hello and welcome to the forum from Ali/Captain. If he eats a lot of fruits and vegies, his poop will be runny rather than normal. My concern is what you call "interference strip". How is it's textured and are you sure that it's a worm? Never hurt to take a professional's view and I would also recommend to take Gargamal to a vet asap.
If he has the liberty to come out of the cage quite often then I'm not too worried about the cage size, as you said you are trick training him, I guess he's not cage bound. If you are short on cash to buy a bigger cage, please try to make life easier for Gargy by letting him extended out of cage play time. But be sure never to leave him loose unattended.
