Hello, first i'm sorry for my poor english, not my native language, my lovebird has been acting sick lately (for a month now), he is 5 years old blue personata and mostly seed diet (I'm trying to change but no luck), used to drink tap water but changed to purified because mom told me it could...

Hi everyone, so long story short I'm here in hopes of finding some imput as to what caused the sickness and later death of my tiel. I had 3 tiels, one male and two females. Last Tuesday my male was his normal self, I typically let them out of the cage when I get home from work, and they all stay...

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...

I just got 2 new budgies around 3 days ago. According to their previous owner they were on an all-seed diet ( specifically canary seed). So on the day I first got them . I noticed that Sugar, the dilute violet budgie had some feces( quite dark colored and dried up) being stucked on his vent ...

Hi everyone. New member here I’m worried about my 1 year oldcockatiel. She has been drinking excessively and has poor appetite. She is also sleeping most of day. She is breathing normally, isn’t egg bound, doesn’t have a fever. She does wake up and eat and drink but goes back to sleep. I took...

Last Friday (5 days ago) I brought my budgie to the vet as her faeces was wet and she had been fluffed up. The vet said it was a gastrointestinal problem and he also said she might get lighter. He prescribed her enrofloxacin which we give twice daily. Ever since we started giving the medicine...

1) I have 2 sick budgies. My vet told me to give them medicine by a injection. After i gave it to them, the medicine started coming out of their nostrils. I checked them later. The nostrils were clear, and they were breathing fine. Now will there be some problems? 2) every time i let them out...

We found out one year old love bird in his cage with swollen eyes , lethargic, not himself . He flew a little bit and will ship but keeps puffing up closing his eyes and sounds raspy . He was happy and normal this afternoon but we put in a freshly cut dried gourd in his cage for a bird house ...

I got my male budgie Sky about a year ago. Just today we noticed he was very sleepy during the day. When he came out of the cage, he ate a few seeds and then just perched on my hand with his eyes closed. We tried to offer him some spray millet but he wouldn’t take them which was very worrisome...

My Fischer's Lovebird, Peaches, is extremely sick. I'm on the way to an avian veterinarian because I don't believe in waiting these things out. I care about her so much and I found her on top of her cage this morning laying down and when I picked her up she felt cold and limp. I put her inside...

Hello my budgie has not been feeling well and has been making black poop for 2 days what should i do?

Hi, my African Grey, Kiwi, appears to be sick for the past few days. I’ve noticed that she has been sleeping a lot and not eating as much as usual. Yesterday I noticed that she is off balance and unable to walk. I took her to an avian vet who took some X-rays and did blood work. I was told that...

There's a mockingbird in our backyard that barely moves. It'll sit in one place for quite a long time staring blankly into the distance. If we approach it, it snaps out of it when we get close and scampers off. But then it'll resume just sitting there. I suspect that it's sick but don't know if...

Hi everyone I hope your doing well. It’s been about 3 months since I posted about boo sitting on the bottom of the cage and she had stopped and gone back to normal until now. Over the last week or so I have noticed that my budgie boo has started sitting on the bottom of the cage and is always...

My 11 year old lovebird is losing feathers around one eye/itching it. I just noticed over the course of the last 5 days his feathers around ONE eye have gone missing and he occasionally itches his eye. He is not acting sick at all he is still flying around being a cute birdy but I am worries...

My 2 yo albino ringneck dove has some really foamy urate in his poop and the amount of water content has increased by a lot. He sneezes a little bit and his feathers are a little ruffled. Do you think he is sick? I'm a student so if I have to pay like 1000$ for a vet, I wanna be sure it's needed...

My female African peach faced is vigorously shaking her head as if trying to gag/getting some stroke. She's very sleepy. I don't know what to do. We don't have an avian vet here and it's midnight.She looks sick.
