Hello, I live in Sydney Australia and ive found a rainbow lorikeet at the local lake. I’ve identified it to be a few months old going off it’s beak colour and size. (Correct me if I’m wrong)
The bird couldn’t fly, I googled how long until it will and realised it should be by now. I thought maybe it fell and hurt itself and that’s why it can’t fly. Since then it’s been doing green squirt poop.
I know now after researching that it’s an indication of the virus, as is the no flying.
I’ve decided to keep the bird and have an aviary, I’ve gotten Avione’ lorikeet mix and have also gottenVetafarm multivet vitamins.
I’ve fed it Apple, orange, honey and some apple, pear purée.
it’s not active or eating much, I feel this is abnormal.
it basically sits all day with its head bowed. It’s steady on its feet however.
I’m trying to force feed with a syringe, the bird is not stressing at all and is sort of taking the food but a lot is running out of its mouth.
I looked for tubing to feed staring into its tummy but nowhere sells it!
how many mls if the mix should it have daily do you think. It’s had about 2ml all day it’s 4pm
Can anyone help at all or share advice please. Thanks
