Hello
I am new here and need urgent help for my 3 yr old parakeet, Debbie. One week ago she had shaking and partly open wings and not eating for 24 hours. Next day she was laying on a wooden coconut bridge and became very passive, which is not herself at all. She was laying on bottom of cage and not moving just sleeping. So I googled and put olive oil on her tummy, under her wings and her bottom. I put her in her nesting box so she could rest and they other parakeets wouldn’t bother her. A few hours later she ate a little chirped finally and was on her perch. Now two days later she is not eating much, sleeps a lot and I see she has feathers from around her beak missing. Like on both sides and under her beak. This is new. She is a mommy to 10 babies. I have a total of 18 parakeets. I have no idea what is going on with her. Please advise asap. Thanks.
