    Sour crop + not eating

    Possible Yeast Infection

    Hello, Guys! I have an appointment with my avian vet tomorrow but I was wondering if any parrot parents have experienced this with their bird? My baby Pearl has been acting weird since last night (weird being she seems uncomfortable to sit/relax and climb her cage) so i’ve taken extra...

    How quickly does kidney damage happen for birds with poor diets?

    Hello, I am in a very tough spot right now after realizing I made a huge mistake with my green cheek conure. She is very sick and I want to get some advice. I thought my bird Cosmo was eating a healthy diet, but I guess I was not paying enough attention to what she ate out of what I gave her...

    Feces test and viral/bacterial infection

    Hey Parrot Mom/Dad community! After having a talk with my avian vet I decided to deliver a feces sample to his lab, but I have a general question that I forgot to ask my vet: Can feces determine infections such as chlamydia? Or do you specifically require a blood sample for that? I really doubt...

    My budgie died

    I don't know what to think as I type this. I am heartbroken. My sweet budgie Leo died tonight--he was only 2 years and 7 months old. The worst part is that it was my fault. My sleep schedule has been horribly messed up, so lately, I would stay up all night. Even if I covered his cage, Leo would...

    Respitory infection?

    Hello guys. I noticed yesterday that one of Honey’s nostrils (the left one) look different than the other. It looks a tiny bit swollen, perhaps? My family keeps telling me that it looks fine and I’m just being anxious. Am I being paranoid or is something going on with him? My previous vet is...

    Human to bird disease transmission?

    I know there are infections that are transmissible to humans from birds and the focus on the information seems to be what people can catch from birds. What about the other way around? I have a cold/tonsillitis/bronchitis/throat infection/cough-based something. Assuming it's just a normal...
