    Urgent Sick & Wet-Looking Parakeet. Super worried, how do I proceed?

    This started yesterday. My bird was just sitting around in her cage in the morning pretty quietly and fluffed up. She looked fine. Even during the day yesterday, she looked fine.

    sick cockatiel

    Hello. I have a 10 year old cockatiel. He's been sick for (kind of) a month now. The thing is, I'm not sure if he's even sick anymore or that he's just changed his behaviour. There are barely any avian vets where I live and my current one told me that she doesn't know what else could my bird's...

    Urgent My lovebird's belly is discolored and her tail is bobbing

    My lovebird is 2.5 years old and three days ago I noticed that her belly was looking discolored and swollen. I took her to the vet for possible egg binding case on sunday. They said they couldn't feel any hardness around the area so there probably wasn't an egg in her. They gave some vitamin...
