sick

Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the right place/website to post this, but during one of my beach walks at the Sunshine Coast QLD, I came across a very sickly looking crow. It was very large and ruffled with grow like things on its face forcing one of its eyes closed and its feet were...

Hello. I found myself in that unfortunate situation, I had to rush my cockatiel Turbo to a vet this weekend. The vet told me he might not make it through the weekend. He lost a lot of weight and he was weak. The vet tube fed him and gave him antibiotics for a infection in his guts. after all of...

Cozzi is my 12 year old cockatiel. Over the course of the past month, he has been doing a lot of sneezing, and open beak breathing. He has always been active, but is not playing anymore and he becomes easily exerted. His diet still seems good, and he eats well. Once I noticed him having symptoms...

Hi everyone, I’ve posted a couple other questions about my nine month old green cheek conure and his worrying droppings, so here goes another: To give you some background Manny has always been a vivacious, silly, and ravenous bird. I’ve had him for almost two months. About a month ago I saw...

I'm not new to exotics especially our feathered friends. I have had and handled exotic birds for over 30 years. Even though I don't know it all I have some decent knowledge. So in the last week and a half I have noticed Gizmo, my 23 y/o (I adopted her 18 years ago) believed to be a female...

Hello everyone! Recently I became the proud new owner of a beautiful green cheek conure, Manny. Manny is fully fledged but is still very much a baby. He eats on his own, knows how to step up and is a wild man for the most part. The only other bird I’ve had is a cockatiel. With my tiel I know...

Hi everyone, I have a female cockatiel she’s maybe 15 months old she had her first clutch of eggs in the beginning of this year and now she’s laying her second now she have 4 eggs so far. I noticed a small bump under her belly towards her butt and I did even feel it. It felt soft and liquidy as...

This could be my hypervigilant lunacy at work (again), but I'm starting to get really anxious about how much time Kamara spends sleeping every day. She snoozes soundly through the night without issue, so I wouldn't think that she's trying to make up for lack of sleep, but she doesn't seem...

Hello all. I am sad to say that Palmer has gotten into an accident, but happy to say that he is alive and kicking. He was cut on something under the wing and hit a big vein, causing him to almost bleed out to death. Fortunately, we were able to take care of it professionally and figure things...

I recently bought a baby turquoise gcc. he's still living at the parrot store for now but his take home date will be next week. he's been panting a lot every time I've gone to see him and I'm really worried! Is this normal or do you think he could be sick? he's clipped, so this happens when he's...

This past Sunday, my Sun conure, Frankie, tragically passed away. She always seemed perfectly healthy, up until Monday, April 17. She was very lethargic and within an hour of becoming this way she seemed like she would not make it to the vet before passing. Thankfully she did, and they gave her...

Hi guys, so Little Blue here is a little fluffed up, especially at morning and at night. I read that this could be a sign of him being sick, but everything else is fine. He is just as active, sings as usual, appetite is good, maybe even better than before. Grooming is fine, and he also grooms...

Hi, I have a baby male pionus who is 6 months old and he just started throwing up today. he threw up 3 times. I feed him zupreem fruit blend and his throw up looks like chipotle sauce. what should I do until I get him to the vet? lol I can't fix the title happened because of auto correct sorry...

I have been sick all week with a sinus infection/ or respiratory infection. I'm not sure, the doctor mentioned both so I think I have it all. Anyway, I've looked on Google and got mixed response on whether I can pass this to my conure. Online says there are only a few things that can be passed...

I just recently hand raised two masked lovebirds, (although they aren't very tame). But one of them (unsure of gender), has been panting and squeaking since I came home from school (abt 3 hours). He's letting me hold him, which never happens, and is now sitting chest on the ground and tail in...

My parakeet has been having poop stuck to his vent for almost a week. It started off as diharrea, which was a one night only thing. He started to lose more feathers since yesterday (2/7) and I have to bribe him with millet now to get on my hand, which never happened when I initially got him. My...

Hey Guys I was lucky enough to own a female budgie named Charley (I thought she was a boy when I first got her as a baby. Whoops) which I shared many happy memories with. Very sadly she got very sick and recently passed away. I do not know what was wrong with her and do not wish it to occur to...

Hello everyone, I have a little peach faced lovebird (Kiwi) and I got him when he was only 8 weeks old. He is now 5 months and at first, it started as some sort of trauma to his leg. He always flies around the house or jumps off the cage sometimes and the leg in which the silver band is on is...

Hey guys, thank you in advance for reading. The long and short of it: My bird is displaying some really concerning symptoms and I'm trying to decide whether I should wait until his regular vet opens on Monday or take him into an emergency vet. Some things to note: He is an aracari! Most...

So.. I just got home from the ER a few minutes ago and I have an upper respiratory infection, sinus infection and a pretty nasty case of bronchitis. I am truly miserable but my biggest concern is my bird. I havent been handling him because I have been sick (just today and yesterday) I am a...
