Father budgie panting, how can I help him? So around 2 and a half weeks ago my female budgies eggs hatched, all has been good and well until recently we noticed that our male budgie is panting a lot. The female isn't and seems fine. He doesn't seem to be hot as he's not extending his wings...

So my budgie had babies and they hatched around 2 weeks ago, they all seem pretty healthy, waddling around already and lifting their own heads. My concern is the oldest one, I believe I've seen him lift his head and such before but am now unsure. When we handle him, he walks a bit but his body...

My budgie tends to lean forward when perching, which I assume isn't normal because my other budgie sits up straight. He also been sneezing often these past months, and has some extra weight behind his legs. Any ideas on what it could be about? Money's too tight to see a vet atm so help would be...

Hello! So, I have two little adorable birds, and they are specifically budgies. One of my budgies, we’ll call her S, has been having this issue with her throat (?) I am unsure, but it sounds like she’s trying to keep a lot of mucus down. When I got my other budgie, we’ll call him N, he always...

Hello! We noticed something on our parrot's leg. She doesn't feel well these days and we noticed this things on both legs. Could someone help us what are these and how we could help her? Thank you! Adél and Sarolta :)

On Friday morning, I found one of my parakeets, Gustavo, dead at the bottom of the cage with no signs of trauma. His feet were clinging to the cage bars and his head was tilted to one side. I am having a necropsy preformed and I have scheduled a checkup for the other parakeets just in case he...

I just noticed this on my budgie, her foot appears to be stuck like this after she slipped off her perch after a bath - not sure if this is the cause or I only just noticed from a previous injury She appears to be standing on it fine, and is grooming it okay, but the toes dont change shape as...

Hello everyone, I have a Green Cheek Conure and my bird name is Mona from Mona Lisa. I looked Mona's beak looks weird so I want to know what should I do. Thank you for reading my post :heart:

Hello, everyone! I'm new to this forum and wanted to inquire about some change in back color feathers on my 5-year old female caique that I'm concerned about. I have only recently noticed this in the past 2-3 weeks where her usual all emerald green back feathers have been turning yellow. Not...

My myna looks healthy, hungry all the time and when he is hungry he will fly to everyone but most of the time his poop is yellow and he sleeps after every meal One day he vomited the small piece of apple he ate and look sick for one night and next day she was okay and now she does not look ill...

Hiya, I have just brought a new Budgie, who I’ve named Brie, she’s a lovely bird, who likes playing and enjoys flying about. However I’ve noticed she gets tired very quickly and her poop is a little weird. I just wanted some opinions on what could be the problem. I don’t live locally to a avian...

Hi everyone! Today I noticed my bird’s left nostril looking a little different. He’s been acting completely normal with no discharge around his nares or watery poops, so I was wondering if it looks like a cause for concern? The vet stresses him out a LOT but I’ll definitely be booking a...

I've had my green cheek conure for about a year and I haven't tried using air fresheners/fragrances in his room until now. I got a Febreze Light Lavender plugin with no heavy perfumes, but I read online that they still aren't safe around birds, despite them not having aerosol. I currently have...

Hello, Ive had my green cheek conure for about 6 years now. He is usually well grooms him self, has a mild problem with biting his tail, but its gotten better over the last year. My concern is he developed a dark spot on his right wing and im worried that it might be like a fungus and it might...

Hello I hope I am posting this in the right section but I do need help with my two eclectus. I had just gotten these two over the weekend. I am including pictures. I would love some input… to me the female looks in bad shape. Male might be molting? Do they look very sick? Female isn’t as active...

Hi i have two cockatiels Loki and Gutu. Loki is a 9 months old boy and Gutu is a 11 months old girl. Gutu is really active, she likes to fly around in the house and check up on us! Loki likes to sit around a lot. He doesn't fly much. He only flys when he gets scared. But what i have noticed he...

Hey all, So Chewy paid a visit to the vet last month and all seemed well. I had them file his beak because there was a bit of a top layer that had developed on it. I know that flakey beaks are normal during moulting, however to vet said to keep an eye on it because overgrowth can be related to...

My budgie flew into the window repeatedly. His cere seems to be peeling off? A white layer had separated from it. He seems fine, like nothing out of the ordinary happened. What should I do? There are no avian vets in the area, so I'm hoping it's not that serious.

So, I’ve recently noticed that my African Grey: Ms. Bailey has developed red spots on the tops of her feet. They look to be sores. She sleeps in a cat-bed since she can’t fit in regular, parrot-huts and she has recently laid infertile eggs that she has been sitting on for a while now. I noticed...

A few months ago I got a flock of nine different chickens, all hand raised and I pay a lot of attention to all of them. One of my birds, a Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam Which I've named Also Mine, Amy, or Amelia). I've noticed some strange behaviour around her, and did some tests and I'm fairly...
