My parrot's eyes are half open and the bottom area looks swollen. She also has her mouth open and makes a squeaking noise, kind of like a dog toy ever so often. We have been to the vets (stated it was an avian vet) but I don't think it was. I have an appointment on Thursday to see an avian vet...

Hi you guys! I have a question and this has been bothering me for a few days now, one because apparently I live two hours away from my closest avian vet, and two, because I don’t want my budgie to be sick. Basically last week I took both of my budgies to the pet store where they get their nails...

I have a 6 month old Caique. Ever since I got him he would suddenly start screaming and bite one of his legs (like thigh part) for a while before going back to being ok. He does it at least once a day and its on the same leg every time. Up until now I thought maybe it was normal behavior since...

Greetings everybody, I am currently very worried about my bird, he is a 21 years old aratinga… he has been popping oddly for the past two weeks. Very watery, reduced appetite, drinking maybe a little bit more water than usual… I took him to the vet but the one I went didn’t have blood tests for...

Hello friends! I've had my gcc for 10 years and at the end of November she started sounding sniffly. Since then she has done two rounds of clavamox enrofloxacin and metacam and been nebulized regularly. We've also replaced all fabric toys and gotten an air filter and humidifier. We moved into an...

Hey all! My budgie, Genji, has been sneezing extremely frequently (10-20+ times a day!!) but the thing is, they're 90% dry sneezes. Occasionally he has a wet sneeze that is completely clear and doesn't run. I've checked for anything in his nares and he's totally clear. There's no sneezing fits...

Hey everyone! I just joined this forum today to ask a couple questions about my (45 ish) orange winged amazon. Lately, Ive been noticing a weird smell every morning coming from his cage. Ive noticed its coming from the bigger piles of poop he has at the bottom of the cage. I've been smelling his...

I'm completely brand new to this form (I've been lurking for a bit but I'm yet to make an intro post- I'll get round to it), so I'm not fully sure if this is better suited to go in Health or Toys & Cages, let me know if it should be moved! Onto the actual issue- my cockatiel is being a bit...

Is microwaving things that have a microwave safe film on them potentially dangerous to birds? The plastic doesn't burn but are the fumes or whatever the plastic can potentially give off any danger? Does anyone microwave things like that around their birds?

Just received a rescue Amazon about five days ago. He was badly neglected. When I arrived to rescue him he was highly agitated and distressed, obviously. I got him home. Set up his new cage and the works. The first two to three days he was highly energetic. We would wrestle and play and...

Hey yall! long time no chirp, but i've had a busy year! It's a pretty dry time of year, and my 7 yo budgie Genji, always sneezes a little more often this time of year. But this year i'm noticing it's more often than normal, along with a few other things. He's sneezing 5 or so times a day and...

Hi everyone, I’ve never used this forum before, I hope this is the right place to post this. I have a pet pigeon named Diamond. I took him to the vet for a checkup recently and we found out that he has yeast in his system. The doctor wasn’t able to tell me if this was serious or not, and...

I don’t know what to do anymore and need help. It’s been over a month since my green cheek conure has been able to walk properly and $2500 in vet bills to find out absolutely nothing. Here’s the story: I’ve had my JJ for 9 years since he was a baby and I just rescued a green cheek and Quaker...

Hello, i have a sun conure for over a year and a half, so literally before half an hour i found something on his head it looks like ingrown feather.And because he is growing new feathers i thinks its that but also looks look like a healed wound. i will contact vet tomorrow but i want to know or...

My cockatiel has this weird, small growth on the right side of his nose, almost like an mal-developed feather. My bird hasn't exhibited any adverse symptoms since it appeared (about 6+ months ago), and has never flinched or reacted in any sort of pain when I go to touch it or pet it, so it seems...

Could anyone tell me what is going on with my cousins bird? A week ago my cousins asked me to take care of their bird so they can go on vacation. Could anyone tell me what this is? She is very fluffed up yellow canary, looking very deprived of vitamins from commercial food and has dry scaly...

Vacation help needed…We are Keeping our conure inside our camper… if there is a light breeze we bring him outdoors 1 hour after foggers sighted. The mosquitoes are crazy here in Chincoteague and the island sprays outdoor areas daily… via plane and truck floggers. Does anyone have any advice or...

I have done as much research as I can do but I still have questions. For months I debated on getting a parrot. I settled for a conure and he is about 6 months old. I do have a pet Pigeon so I know many things about birds from owning him. He’s quite the butt and makes you earn any socialization...

My 7 year old budgie, genji, has had no health issues in the years I've had him, and been really healthy. But in the past few days he's been exhibiting strange behavior? Sometimes, usually when I am near the cage, or he's out of the cage with me, he'll stop and tilt his head side ways or crane...
