Thank you very much we took him he was abonded he was very little now he grow and started to sneeze our grey cheac coroner ate his baby formula and he is sneezing too
I'm very worrying about this little baby starling

 

[Birdbabe]

He may sneeze due to dry air, dust, maybe got some food in his nostrils? Bumping this
@Feather ???

 

[redindiaink]

Do you give the bird regular baths? Are the sneezes dry or wet? Are there other signs of illness like ruffled feathers or wheezing?

I'd get it to a wildlife rehabber, or vet. It's not something I'd want to guess at especially when you have another bird. If it turns out it's something like gapeworm your conure could be sick too.

I don't know what to say because my first instinct would be to find a local rescue that could help. I don't want to be mean and scare you away from asking for help in the future, but you need to stop playing doctor with this bird and get it to someone who knows how to care for it. You don't know what you're doing. On we can make suggestions based on personal experience, but beyond that we're all guessing.

Good luck

Please can you recommend us which test we should ask to do which is important? Because you know what pet doctors can say more than it's need to charge more )

Good to hear!

It'll be guided by what they observe when they examine them, and somewhat on what you tell them. They might want to take a couple samples to rule out bacterial/fungal/parasite infections then it goes up from there to blood work and/or an xray.

The vet I see has a consent form and wants me to sign off on what they want to do before they do it and it comes with an estimate. If this vet doesn't have a similar form tell them you need to be informed before they can do any tests!

And yup it's expensive. When the vet I looked at my cat (she had a UTI) said they needed to do bloodwork and urine analysis I joked it would be cheaper if they could just tell us what's bothering them.

ps: And I'd bring along the cage liner in a bag so the vet can look at the droppings.

Ye but exotic is more experience but this Avian place which is in manhattan little cheaper than we took parrots in bronx
But good my mom took chicken couple month ago but it's a week wait
The dropping is no problem he/she does it pretty often
But u said x-ray but why? He is sneezing do u think he needs exray??
Etsy for bones? No?

I'm going to answer as best as I can then I putting this thread on ignore.

I'm saying you should prepare to pay for a sample from the droppings, the nose (nares) or mouth to be anaylized for signs of an infection. Some times that's all that's needed to base a treatment on, but sometimes they'll need more information in the form of blood work and xrays. You might have to pay for one, two or three tests. Or you might not have to pay for any at all. You won't know until you let a vet look at the bird.

Droppings contain a wealth of information on digestion, kidney function, liver function etc. They can also let you know if they have an infection. All just by observing them.

Xrays aren't just for broken bones. They can reveal enlarged organs or infections in the air sacs and lungs (aspergillosis or pneumonia etc).

I hope it goes well with your bird.
