Aspiration Symptoms in Baby Birds | eHow.comSymptoms of aspiration:
When a baby bird inhales food or liquid, it will sputter, shaking its head while desperately trying to get some air. It's similar to how you react when liquid goes down the wrong pipe. Sometimes the food or liquid will spurt out of its nostrils while it sneezes or "coughs."
Treatment:
The severity of aspiration pneumonia requires veterinary care. You will have to administer a course of antibiotics or antifungals.
Complications:
It may seem like your bird is okay after an aspiration incident, but aspiration pneumonia could be settling in. Unfortunately, there are very few symptoms of this until it's too late. Your bird may begin to lose weight, but that might be all you notice. If you realize your bird has aspirated, take it to the vet even if things seem okay.
