sick bird?

Is this even a thing? My female conure has been acting weird and her crop seems to not be filling though she seems to be eating fine. She seems hungry but can't seem to make up her mind what she wants to eat and has been doing an excessive amount of beak wiping, and she keeps regurgitating after...

Any advice (other than go to an avian vet- we don't have many here so are hard to get into, they are a 5 hour drive which just stresses them out more, and they just charge $750 a visit to take a fecal smear and say it's fine)??? I have a 15 year old pearly conure female with a history of crop...

hi! first post here, sorry if im not doing things right. my quaker is 2 years old, and we're currently at my grandparents' place for vacation. he's been here for a bit longer than a week, and since yesterday, he's behaving oddly. normally, he always sticks to us and chases us around, and is also...

Hello, I have a white bellied caique, 16 years old. He's been active and vocal but lately very watery poops and little feces. Seems like he strains as well when he poops. Vent as well as area around is clean. Morning poops seem well formed and urates + urine looks consistent. Feces color is...

Hey everyone, I'm just posting here to get some advice. My orange winged amazon is about 45-50ish (we are unsure of exact age, he could be older or younger), but he has been quivering a bit (hes done this for past year or so, vet checked his breathing & did other tests and said everythings ok a...

hello, i have had my conure for a little over 3 years now and recently i’ve noticed his chest rising and falling frequently when he breathes, i know of respiratory infections in conures but his tail is no bobbing, he eats and drinks and poops fine, no sneezing or coughing or open beak breathing...

Pecan, my female cockatiel has been sneezing a lot. Most of of them time when she had just woken up. Her nostrils seems to be blocked, and when she breathes you can hear sort of a rumble from her along with her body sort of swaying. Not sure wether this is normal or not. Should I bring her to a vet?

My meyer parrot got stuck to the vacuum cleaner by her chest and right after that she dropped a normal poop with drops of blood on the side? It seemed like too much of a coincidence for her to suddenly poop blood right after that accident. She is acting the same as usual, but the last 2 poops...

Good afternoon, I got a cockatoo umbrella female in October 2022 she is 1 year old. I decided to take the bird to an avian vet for an anual wellness exam to see why this bird is not waiting much during the day. And they did fecal. And blood test. Her fecal came back negative for parasite and...

Hey, I'm talking about Norman, my a little over 2yrs old budgie. He's a boy. He's always been a bird that molts a lot, but it was light shedding for the most part. I can't remember exactly when, but he stopped molting. He was normal other than that. Just like 2 or so days ago he's been losing...

Is her vent/pooping normal?? Sorry for the graphic video. She has had problems before, her vet is away for his wedding. I can’t get in touch with him for 10 days. She’s been having inconsistent droppings I need to know if this can wait for her vet or not, it’s extremely difficult to find someone...

Hello, My green cheek Conure started making little noises as if there was something in his nose, there isn’t any discharge and he’s been sneezing every once in a while and he’s never done this before so I’m a little nervous. It’s in the middle of the night here so I can’t contact a vet. He’s...

I tested positive for Covid-19 this morning. I been seeing mixed answers if birds can get COVID-19 or not. Does anyone know if I can spend COVID-19 to my cockatiel? If birds can’t get COVID-19, can some people give me tips how to entertain my bird while we quarantine in a room?

Our Alexandrine parrot has developed a bald spot near the left eye which has been growing rapidly. Same type of bald spot has shown near his right eye as well. His beak is shedding too. We tried applying anti bacterial and anti fungal creams but they did not show much effect. Could it be mites?

Hello, I am here to ask about my bird, Wally, Wally is a male cockatiel, about 2 and a half years old and one day I looked at one of his eyes and it seemed a little weird.. I don’t really see him scratch it or anything, it just seems like it’s just “there” and not harming him but I’m still...

my 23 year old green cheek conure has had some very watery poops lately, her poops are pretty clear with a little bit of dark ish green feces in it, but not much. she eats a lot of fruits and vegetables, but i’m wondering if she is having some stomach issues?

Hi, I’m new here snd this is my first post. I have a 2 month old parrotlet named Tweety. I handfed him ever since he was 3-4 weeks old. This post is gonna be a long one but I’d appreciate reassurance and advice thank you so much! Now that I think of it he’s always gone through phases where he...

Hello, I have two 2 year old conures that have a vinegar smell (without the stinging sensation) coming from their mouths. I’ve smelt this before from the both of them about 1 year ago, and it was also during their mating season. The male conure is constantly regurgitating into the females...

I noticed that sometimes when he eats his food he looks like he’s squinting or slowly closing his eyes. I don’t believe he is sick because there are no other signs. His poop looks completely normal. He loves to fly. Is he just tired? Is this a sign of pleasure? He just got weened off liquids and...

Hello, I’ve been having a lot of success syringe feeding my baby cockatiel who is now 4 weeks old. Every morning, her crop empties, and there is a strong begging response. This morning, however, she wasn’t begging for food like she usually does. On average, I feed her 12mL at applesauce...
