I have a yellow sided green cheek conure and he seems like he might be sick or something. He sounds like he is whining but im not sure if he is or if he's suffed up. I really cant afford to go to the vet. As my car has just broke down but I was wondering if someone can tell me what his temperature should be and do i take it under his wing or what? If he has a temperature i will definitely take him in if i can find a ride. Thank you all for you time and help.

Can you post a video of your bird?

I am so sorry birdie is not well. However if you have a sick bird sometimes a vet is necessary. Please do all you can to do this. Try keeping him warm, well fed and comfortable.

It is hard to help without getting the picture. Did he eat and drink? Is he perched? Playing?

feel his feet are they warm or cold, if they are cold he needs to see a vet now. you really can not take the birds temperature. if he is stuffed up, what are his sneezes like dry or wet? if they are wet he needs to see the vet.

You cannot rely on being able to tell a bird has a fever. Their normal body temperature is around 104 degrees. When you say whining do you mean it sounds like he has respiratory noise? Does it seem like he's breathing more heavily than usual? To me it sounds like he needs to be checked out by the vet.
