help :(

[Bokkapooh]

I suggest taking him to the avian vet. He doesnt sound well.

 

[waterfaller1]

I agree, vet visit needed. Please do not wait any longer. It could be something like too much yeast in his crop.

 

[parrotluv]

How is the baby doing, have you taken him to a vet?

 

[LEO!!!!]

Re: some thing's not right?

well my sun conure leo is pooping orange and white but he has never pooped that color besides white i'm getting concerned and he is acting like a baby also i just want to know if yall have had this happen before to one of yall's parrot's and if so please help

 

[wonderb]

Does he get colored pellets?

 

[LEO!!!!]

no he eat's seed's and fruit he likes strawberries and i have been giving him some

 

[Mythreeiggys]

He's 4 months old and you've had him for 3 months? Was he weaned when you got him?

 

[Mizzely]

Strawberries could colour his poop orangey. The white is urates not poop.

We did help, and evidently we have seen this happen, as many responded saying it sounded like a hungry baby.We said it would be best to take him to the vet to find out if there is a health issue. It has been a month and you have not yet taken him? We also gave better suggestions for what to feed him.Strawberries and seeds are an incomplete diet. He has no protein. Pellets? Vegetables? Legumes and beans?

 

[Mythreeiggys]

I'm concerned because you said you've had him for 3 months and he's only 4 months. There's no way ANY bird could be weaned at a month old. Please tell me I'm looking at this wrong

ETA: I'm not trying to be rude but if he wasn't weaned or properly weaned, there could be major repercussions for this baby. We are just trying to help and would need to know if he wasn't properly weaned

It also really concerns me that this baby is only 4 months old and you've had it for 3 months. It REALLY concerns me that your "breeder" wouldn't have had you start a good diet with the bird.

Almost and reputable breeder would tell you to atleast offer pellets while the baby is still young. I know some breeders who just start their babies on pellets and fruit completely with no seed.

Coming from the mom of TWO seed junkies I can tell that both of them weren't started on any type of pellet. Only seed. Down the road it is VERY hard to get them to switch.

I'm also pretty concerned you haven't takin this bird to the vet yet.

 

[LEO!!!!]

no like i said i feed him seeds and fruit and veggies and he the breeder had leo for i think 2 1 month when i got him he had all his feathers i've had him 5 months now and yes you did give me help but i called the breeder and he said to feed him mushy foods i did he is alll fine but he was pooing orange now its turning green and he is acting normal and i also play with him every day and give him a bath two he gets fresh air he doesnt seem to like the seeds much and what pellet food do yall feed yall birds????

 

[waterfaller1]

Maybe you can start a new thread asking about nutrition in the conure section, since the emergency has now passed.

 

[waterfaller1]

I am glad he is doing better.

 

[LEO!!!!]

yeah me to and ok i'll do that and p.s i forgot how to make a thread
