Urgent My lovebird had a seizure yesterday

@LunaLovebird View attachment 244449 View attachment 244450 The one with me in it is the first day I found him.
The first photo is of a couple weeks ago. I don't know if seeing the full body of my bird would help. If he was a hybrid wouldn't his colors be as blue as the one in the photo?
Jellybean is such a mystery. I wish I knew his background. Lol.
Thanks for informing me he could possibly be a hybrid. Makes my little man more interesting.

Depends on the parents' colours. He's definitely a hybrid though. @expressmailtome is an expert on identifying colour mutations, so maybe he can help.

Thank you! I just messaged him

@LunaLovebird is correct that your lovebird is a hybrid. It is hard to tell if he is a cross between a peach face and a black masked, or a peach faced and a Fischer's. Both of those types of hybrids look very similar, and are sterile. There are no health problems associated with this type of hybrid. He does not have any mutations, that is just how the hybrid looks.

Thank you!!!
I would have never known. This is exciting.
I thought people were against hybrid birds??

OMG, that face!
Good luck at the vets!

 

[Jellybeans3369]

Thank you!

I think your lovebird would be a Fisher's and maybe a masked lovebird.

Jellybean is sooo cute. Looks as sweet as he sounds. Hope all goes well at the vets

 

[Jellybeans3369]

Thanks guys! The vets appointment is in 4 hours or so. I'll keep you guys informed

 

[sunnysmom]

I hope your appointment is going well.

They said they're gonna keep me on the metal medicine for a little longer and to exercise his feet but things are looking good!!!

 

[Donna turner]

Excellent !! You've done well

 

[Hankmacaw]

That's great to hear.

 

[expressmailtome]

That is good news.

 

[Jellybeans3369]

I think his feet are pretty much back to normal!!! Finally felt comfortable enough to give him a little bath again. I was worried to put him by a water due to him seizing and his feet not working.

 

[Jellybeans3369]

He hasn't been on a perch in a while so I thought I'd let him hang out on his favorite perch of all!! I attached string to it so it hangs lower to the ground and put a towel under so if he falls it doesn't hurt him.

 

[Tiel Feathers]

What great news!

 

[Jellybeans3369]

Question though. He keeps wagging his tail really fast, preening himself and flapping his wings really intensely. He's been doing it for three minutes now. Could it be because it's his first bath since he's gotten sick?? (A week and two days?)

It's perfectly normal post bath, or just when they're preening.
