sick

Good evening! I have recently been fostering 2 baby egrets (I think they are egrets. not sure) who were found on the road. I was planning on releasing them in the wild once they grew up. But now they both seemed to have developed splay legs issue. They also have weird yellowish poop which...

Hi, My budgie Salvadora is 3 years old, usually very active and playful, loves to eat and eats both many *safe* kinds of seeds and veggies that she likes. In the past 3 days she became a bit less active, still flying around the room but sleeping a lot and not eating so much. She is drinking...

Hello, this is my first time here so please bear with me... I have a cockatiel that I took in last year from a friend because she had to move (he is not my first bird). He's about 16 years old now and quite skittish. I noticed him falling from his perch a few times, so I contacted my friend...

I have a 2year old pineapple conure and recently I have noticed that after flying around the room due to being spooked she regurgitates a white solid. She only does this after flying and shows no other signs of illness. Should I take her to the vet to get checked out. I am quite worried but my...

I have a lovie that is 4 years old and she’s been to the vet twice in a month and everything came out fine. However now her urates are a little discolored this started after giving her mixed apple cider vinegar in her water. Is this dangerous? Any advice?

I've heard so many stories about tail bobbing and the bird dying the same day and I am so freaked out! Is this sort of tail bobbing okay? I don't know if he's breathing hard or if he's just moving around. In my country, only emergency vet services are considered essential, everything else is...

She has been doing this act all day and we dont know why. Its worrying us.

Hi everyone, can someone help me out with a cockatiel feather issue? My cockatiel, who is about 9, started growing cheek feathers (and by cheek I mean, right next to her beak, where the beak meets skin), that are almost crusty. The feathers do not form. They turn into these crusty little...

Tonight around 7 pm I noticed my 6 year old cockatiel with his eyes slightly closed like when they are just waking up, but kept them like that for a long time so I started to check up on him and noticed some sticky yellowish liquid around his face. Then while I was calling a vet to see if they...

Recently I noticed that whenever I took my parrotlet out to play he decided to sleep instead. An he started sleeping in odd places like my vanity and nightstand. There's nothing to perch on there... Today he was on my shoulder and suddenly started flicking his head back and forth. Then he...

I just got a parakeet a few days ago, and She/he has not drank out of their water or eaten food yet that I have seen. She/he has eaten millet though. Anyway, her tail slightly bobs up and down when breathing, I am not sure If that is an issue though. What worry's me is... When she trying to...

Hi everyone. I am concerned about my 8 year old male budgie. Since this morning, he has been fluffed up and sleeping excessively (or at least trying to). He has also been quiet and strangely docile. I was able to pick him up without any resistance (usually he bites the hell out of my hand or...

My Lovebird has been regurgitating on his favorite toy (His Rope/hoop Swing) and eating it back up a lot lately. And when he does, it happens a few times in a row. Is he okay? Is this normal? Please let me know!

Hi, I'm super new here. I a fostering a 28 yo green indian ringneck that is basically wild and is having gut imbalance issues. Basically, she can't handle ANY seed (even as a treat, I don't feed my birds seed) or any nuts. Right now, she's on 80% fresh chop three times a day with probiotic...

I have a 14 year old female cockatiel named Henrietta who has been a chronic egg layer her whole life. I've taken her to the vet in the past and done everything possible to discourage egg laying behavior. Changed her diet to Lefeber pellets mixed with a little bit of seed and Kaytee bird greens...

Cockatiel fell in her cage and since has he balance issues. She shows no signs of broken bones, loss of grip, or pain. She is eating drinking playing as normal she just struggled to climb the cage and perch herself. And walking on the bottom of the cage she stumbles. I’m going tomorrow to the...

Yesterday, a random stray cat slipped in my house and attacked my green cheek conure. I heard my bird struggling and went to look upstairs (where I keep him), and see the cat biting a huge chunk of feathers off my bird’s back. I yelled and the cat ran off, I picked up my bird and cuddled him for...

Forget the helmet, this kid needs a bubble. My own fault, of course; I didn't notice that the door to the New World room didn't fully latch while I was giving out breakfast, and when Taco was playing on the floor a few minutes later, he noticed the door and pulled it open. I was in the living...

Hello all thank you for reading and responding to my post. It is truly appreciated. Unfortunately two days ago my little baby Lovebird, kiwi, was feeling sick and we quickly realized it was heavy Metal Poisoning. Fortunately we brought him to the vet immediately after we recognized his symptoms...

.....already..... Since Tandoori Masala has a motor disability and can't control her body the way the average gecko can, the smallest and most inane objects can become lethal to her. I thought I did a decent job arranging her enclosure with safety in mind, but I underestimated the severity of...
