sick budgie

I noticed on 26/11 my female budgie was lethergic and fluffed up so I called the local avian vet and he told me to bring her in. He weighed her and said she was underweight which was a shock because she's always eating. He listened to her chest and said she had laboured breathing and greenish...

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to ask about the signs of sickness in budgies. I had 2 budgies and one of them was sick a month ago so I took him to the vet (we don’t have any avian vets near us) they tried saving him but said it was too late and he died the same day after hours of trying to give...

Okay, so let’s start this off: I’m a university student who absolutely ADORES birds and grew up around parakeets, so I have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to maintaining their needs. So around two and a half months ago, me and my boyfriend made the decision to adopt these two birds...

Hi, My budgie Gooses (previously named Turkey) health is concerning me, especially because birds hide their sicknesses so well. I've found her a few times at the bottom of her cage, lying down when I got back from work. She shot right up and got on her perch when I turned on my music though...

Howdy folks of the forum. I just registered and i have a question about my budgie. She is a rescue, i've had her for 8 years, her estimated age is 12. I keep taking her to the vet. She's thrown up twice this month. And no, not regurgitation. I'm talking white sticky liquid. I'm afraid its...
