Hello, please forgive me if this is on the wrong thread, I am brand new to this site but really need help.
I have two baby cockatiels, just over 3 weeks old. The parents were having complications so I pulled them at 1 week and have been hand feeding them since, and all has been fine. They’ve been playful, noisy, hungry babies. Suddenly last night though the bigger one was shoving away his food, but I didn’t think anything of it because he was full. Suddenly he had a sneezing episode, sneezing around 20 times, before calming down. No gasping, choking, mouth breathing, or anything else odd. Suddenly he just became really quiet and making little “cricket” noises and purring, not his usual obnoxious, loud, rambunctious self. I didn’t think too much of it so I put them to bed then woke up for feeding, he had pooped a lot, but was not interested in eating. He is usually losing his mind he’s so eager to eat. He’s just sleeping next to his brother, occasionally will let out a little hiss (like usual), pooping, walking, but has gone very quiet and occasionally has sneezing attacks. I am worried sick, these birds have become my whole life. What do I do? It’s sunday so the vets aren’t open around me.
