I noticed early a couple symptoms of my bird being sick a couple months ago, and I noticed this pretty early, so I took her to the vet which was pretty expensive, and they said that she should be ok for now, but to check her for a bit and if she worsens to bring her back, and all they gave her...

Hi there, I have just joined avian avenue to be apart of a community that loves their birds as much as I love mine. I have a 8 year old Indian Ringneck named Charlie (Mr Chow), who unfortunately has re occurring respiratory issues. I hope to find support and coping mechanisms through this...

Hello all! I have four budgies. Luna (female, 3 years) and Sadie (female, 2 years) have some staining and "stiff" feathers that almost look like pins above their ceres. In the photo you can see it on Sadie. Luna (left of Sadie, white) has the same sort of marks and Frida (right of Sadie, green)...

Hi guys,providing an update on my vet visit. I had to edit all my emotions out,as it was getting too long to read,so I'll just try and stick to the facts and make a separate post to cope later. I was told to collect fecal samples over a 24 hour period for the Friday appointment. I laid down a...

I'm a Swede living in Bali and animal welfare here is.... under standards to say the least. I came across a Macaw and decided to buy her as she was just sitting on a tiny chain 24/7. Got her 5 days ago, the owner says she is 3 years old. So, the owner has fed her with baby food via a syringe...

I've been posting threads and forums the past couple of days about our parakeet with sudden tail bobbing and signs of respiratory illness. My parents are practically impossible to talk into going to the vet. But I'm so stressed out by the idea of him struggling and us doing nothing to help him...

Hey fellow bird lovers! If you saw my previous post, you know what's going on. But in case you didn't, our 8 month old parakeet whom we call no name has been showing symptoms of respiratory illness since Monday evening. It is currently 2:50 pm on Wednesday, 7/8/2020. He is still having some...

Hello, I have a female canary that is sneezing, coughing, wheezing and breathing heavily,and is always fluffed up, she also seems tired. this is a video of her that I took today. She still eats. She started showing symptoms like this yesterday. I'm giving him Enrofloxacin in the water and I've...

Because she's one of the dustiest species on earth, I try to give Kamara a good misting at least daily to help keep her dander in check. Until recently she's tolerated her gentle showers, but as of a couple days ago, she has decided that the spray bottle is Satan incarnate. She has also...

Hi, there. First post. I am planning to adopt a green cheek conure once I find a good breeder in Georgia. The problem is, I have a little budgie who had a respiratory infection a few weeks back. He has since recovered (stopped antibiotics last week) and is back to normal, but I am still...

I have an all-white female budgie named Snowy who has been very sick for about two weeks now. We took her to the vet as soon as we noticed something was not right. She was fluffed up and kept nodding off even upon getting her out of the cage. Her poop had been looking a bit yellow for the...

Hello All! This is my first time on this board, and was hoping to get some advice for my lovely 5-year old Green Cheek Conure, Oscar. About one month ago, I started hearing a very faint whistling only occasionally when Oscar got worked up or was moving around a lot, but was otherwise acting...

So after a few months of being stuck between a rock and a hard place, I've finally got enough money (and steady income) to take my flock (including Cooper after the first of the year) to the vet! Jersey is going on Tuesday - November 29th - and I'm actually going for more than routine blood...
