I own a Jenday Conure that I have had for about 5-6 months. Last night I thought he was acting strange, but thought maybe I was just exaggerating. He was on his perch where he sleeps and was trying to fall asleep, he was rocking back and forth and closed his eyes and was still for a few seconds...

Hi, my peach faced lovebird is behaving kind of weird. This morning he woke me up as usual, chirping, but then i realized that he did not want to drink or eat anything. He was breathing a bit heavy and he pooped more watery then normal. At this point i would go to the vet, but sadly we do not...

I recently took my Yellow naped Amazon Bogie to the vet. The vet didnt do any biopsy or anything, really. He just looked at the bird and felt his chest and said the bird is thin, had a tough crop, was very sick and probably has PDD. He gave me some liquid celebrex to give him orally to take down...

He threw up for a few hours after coming...

Hi, we just got a new blue fronted amazon parrot about 3-4 days ago. He is about 8 years old and his previous owners smoked. He is already starting to talk a little with us. He is also very responsive (turning his head and flaring his pupils when we talk to it). I do have a few concerns though...
