Heya, like with any traumatic experience and shock it just means more impact on the calm and relaxed approach you need to take to training / socialising it.

The bird has a fresh memoory of terror and humans involved in that terror, so it will take a calm and relaxed and most importantly a forgiving approach to fixing this.

Unfortunately when a bird starts to get nippy and/or viscious, you cant show reaction... easier said than done. The basic principles behind bluffing is the same that goes into training a bird not to be bitey.

Also, a few socialization tips like many of the forum topics around this site, or simple non specific info sites like the following can really help in a general understanding of socialising your bird.

Dont be worried about looking for specific Alexandrine bird socialising stuff, any basic info on bird taming is relatively the same bar a few rarer exotics.

In regards to getting sick, if the bird looks fine, and is not coontinually shaking, keep it in a warm, calm area, with loads of fruit, vegetables and seed/pellets for it to eat. If the bird seems a little lifeless, or looks like its having a hard time staying still in the perch, or wings look droopy or if the eyes dont look clear or the vent (poop area) looks messy take it into the vet asap.

When in doubt, overract imo :P hehe

A vet check is a good idea, I doubt you would have any problems with any virus or influenza, from the sound of it it was such a small time frame and there was very limited contact... but hey, i wasnt there. If your bird doesnt seem 100%, take it to a vet, tell them what happened. They might even feel necessary to give the bird a vitamin booster.

Oh wow! i just read this. Poor little guy!! Glad he survived it, though!!

I would give him a warm bath/shower. It could be that the salt in the sea water removes the good preening oils from the feathers. I dunno.. just throwing ideas out there? But a bath sounds like it could help. Yes.. like everyone else said.. take him to your avian vet!!

I only just come across this post. How is the bird now?
I guess you got a first hand lesson about birds- its not a very good idea to take a bird out of a cage in a strange place with strange people especially when they can fly away. I'm glad you managed to save him /her.
