So my bird Valentine has been this way for a while now, he hasnt really gotten better but he also hasnt gotten worse. He came to me all scraggly and had a lot of stress bars in his feathers but since May (purchase date) he has moulted and his feathers have gotten a lot less black and a lot...

She eats normally, temperatures haven't ranged in my home, and she even leaves her cage to explore and play. It's starting to worry me however that she seems to have her days like this more and more often..tail seems to be shaking, and her breathing might seem rapid. I cant quite figure out this...

I recently took in my boyfriend's roommate's budgie. He's had him for some time, a few months or so now, and he wasn't exactly kept in the best conditions. He's been fed only seeds. He had a mirror toy that he became obsessed with and as a result became very bitey. He took to pleasuring himself...

Hello all thank you for reading and responding to my post. It is truly appreciated. Unfortunately two days ago my little baby Lovebird, kiwi, was feeling sick and we quickly realized it was heavy Metal Poisoning. Fortunately we brought him to the vet immediately after we recognized his symptoms...

Good day everyone I would like to reach out to the community concerning one of my five baby lovebird. It is 5 weeks old. Up to two days ago, it was growing fine with its four sibblings. But now, its neck is completely twisted and it keeps its head down sideways. Any ideas what is going on and...

This morning Ellie refused her food, and went out of her cage only to go back in shortly after. I offered her a toy and, although she took it, let it go shortly after. She keeps squinting and only drank water so far. Her breathing is regular for her pace when she sleeps, maybe a bit more...

My parakeet began throwing up clear liquid this afternoon, is lethargic, and not behaving normally. I took her to the vet, they did a physical on her and said everything seemed normal. They said they could do x-rays and other diagnosis things, but they said the stress could potentially kill her...

Hi all, My beautiful best friend 'Jeff Jeff' passed away late last night. Nothing has been more upsetting in my life so far. I'm posting today as I would like to know if anyone can offer answers as to why it happened. I came home from my partner's house to find Jeff in his bed sleeping in...

I am concerned for my sun conure, as it has been acting unusual and I’m pretty sure it is sick. I researched it’s recent behavior like the consistent puffiness throughout the day and discolored poop. I’m taking her to the vet anyway to check up on her, I was just wondering if you guys know...

Hi everyone. Im just looking for a second opinions on my indian ringnecks problems. Recently we took Leo to the vet as he was pulling his feathers out and we thought it was mites. The vet told us it wasnt mites and that he has strained kidneys and that his gland was blocked from a build up for...

I've had my conure for a year and he's a little under two now. I feed him totally organic food and give him a little bit of fruits and veggies every day it's been the same routine for a year. I don't own any teflon, I don't wear any perfumes and I never burn candles. He seemed totally absolutely...

Hello my sweet little parakeet BooBoo Chicken recently seemed sick so i took her to the vet. It started suddenly at night when she was rubbing her head on EVERYTHING very obsessively and sneezing like crazy and seemed very uncomfortable. So the next morning i took her to the vet and she did not...

Hi, I would really appreciate your help, since we don't have avian vet in our city. My little budgie "Benny" is sick. He is 6 months old. 7 days ago diarrhea started, on that day he was given green salad. But since diarrhea started he is off vegetables and fruits, just eating his seeds. Since...

My pineapple Green Cheek starting making an odd sound, as if he's trying to clear his sinuses, about a month ago. I noticed it after sharing some peanut butter (natural, no added sugar) one morning, and thought he might just be trying to clear any remnants stuck to his upper mandible. No more...

Hi! I have a boy budgie named kirby who is 2 years old. He woke up this morning with a runny nose, which has gone away with the help of a humidifier. However, I noticed that he has developed a tiny brown area on his otherwise blue cere. His droppings this morning were almost all white, then...

Hi! I posted a thread not too long ago about this topic but forgot ton include time important parts. First, I found out that my budgie of two years is actually a boy, not a girl lol. Second, I woke up this morning to find that there had been dried brown discharge on his cere. He is eating...

Hi. So over had my budgie, Libby, for over 2 years now. She's about two and a half years old. Always a healthy bird and never got sick. Vets were always impressed with her health. Today when I uncovered her cage, she had dried up brown discharge on her cere and her droppings were almost all poo...

Hi, We found a featherless patch on our sun conure's back (behind the wings) full of blood. It seems he has been plucking but we have not seen him doing it or feathers. We took him to the ER when we saw it and they tested his blood and saliva and did not find anything, said it could be...

I have 2. Lovebirds and one of them has been laying eggs for quite some time, nothing hatched. Its been about 3 and half years - that's her age. She hardly used to come out when she was laying. The second lovebird used to feed her which became a habit she mostly ate when he fed her. It was...

What happens to a bird, generally speaking, if it has tested positive for one of the avian viruses like Borna or PBFD? Do you know if rescues will accept them? My research shows the rescues asking health questions, but I can't figure out the end results of this. Are these birds refused? I...

My parakeet, Kika, is around 8-9 years old which I have been told is kind of elderly for a parakeet. He made a couple of vet visits recently for colds and has recovered beautifully! However, I've noticed he has been scratching his face against his perches and other things. To the point that he...

Hi All! My Blue Head has developed what appears to be some form of a growth under his tongue. This is causing him what I believe, to eat less. His keel is protruding more than normal. The vet just weighed him at 260 grams. Blood test shows elevated white blood cell count and before the...

Hello, I have a 3 year old green cheek that seems lethargic tonight. He has his feathers ruffled almost constantly. He is still eating and drinking. Wants to be held close and isn't talking as much as normal. All the vets and avian vets around me are closed right now. Is there anything I can do...

My female lovebird has been making a weird noise at night occasionally. It sounds like a wet/snotty beak grind. Is this wheezing? I posted a video to youtube--its really quiet so you'll have to turn your volume up high. link below Weird Lovebird Noise--Wheezing? Sick? Or Just Grinding -...

Last night my little Green Cheek Conure passed away suddenly with no warning at all. He was less than 3 years old. I spent the day playing with him, he did his usual chirping, biting, playing, and eating. Nothing abnormal at all. In the evening when he was in his cage resting I was in my...

Bug has had a tail bob for about a week, which has seem to gone away for the most part. She also is puffed up when she sits in her cage, but when I approach or when she is moving around/out playing the puffiness goes away. It has been a bit chilly in my bedroom so I shut all the windows and put...

Hello! I just got a lovebird from a women who was giving her away on craigslist. I have had a cockatiel, parrotlet and sun conure in the past but they had to stay with my parents when I left for college so now I am just with my new lovebird. She has a totally weird personality that I'm trying...

I'm worried about my macaw. She just started having large pale tubular poops. Almost like a worm. It is very firm as well. Does anyone know what this is caused by.

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been here But hope everyone is well :). So last night I took in a cat I found in my backyard. He was hiding and crying in my window well, so I put some gloves on and scooped him up. He was too weak to fight, so he was very calm. He is VERY thin and is...

We stay in our church house overnight today because of the snowstorm before the Theophany, and as we came back after dinner we noticed a pigeon on the ground window right near the door. I went to check on him, and he seems alert (although it's 10pm), his eyes are bright but very sad, and there...

My bird looks like he's choking!!!! His vet appointment was for tomorrow because he had anemia (or rather still has it) for a few months and I was going to take him in for major tests. But now he's stretching his neck up high and breathing heavy and yawning nonstop!!!! He looks like he can't...

So things are not going well with Baby. Like with every animal I get, I always take them into the vet as soon as I can so I can catch any possibly diseases they could have and nip it in the butt so to speak. Since I am still in contact with Baby's previous owners, I asked for vet records...
