Help! Sick conure parrot

[aviv5156]

Hello, my parrot has been making weird noises that seem abnormal for two weeks. Seems like he have something in throat. I took him to the vet and she gave him antibiotics but after a week it didn't seem to help. He behave normal but still make this noises.
Please help me I really worry about him.

Sorry I wasn’t able to hear any noises from that video, but that may have been my computer.

Was the vet you took him to a certified bird vet? Did they run blood or faecal tests before prescribing antibiotics? How are you administering the antibiotics? Hopefully not adding them to his drinking water as this may foul the water and there is no way of knowing if he is getting the correct dosage.

I recommend you get a second opinion from a specialist bird vet and that you tell us where in the world you’re located so perhaps we can help you find one if you’re having trouble.

He gets a regular dose of syringe. The veterinarian is a bird specialist.
I saw a video on youtube of parrot that also make this noises.

If your vet has prescribed antibiotics they must have some idea what your bird is suffering from, so did they tell you the name of your bird’s condition? Did they run blood or faecal tests to diagnose the condition? It is not sufficient to prescribe antibiotics without running tests to determine if they’ll be effective. If you’re still concerned then I’d recommend you either go back to the vet or find yourself a new vet if you’re not satisfied with treatment provided by the first one.

Welcome to you and your parrot! Sound in first video did not seem abnormal while the second example seems irregular and bird appears to be in some discomfort.

Clear communication is key to understanding your bird's prognosis. Perhaps the vet will educate you to alleviate concern. A course of antibiotics is typically 7 to 10 days; if not better perhaps specialized testing needed. If you lose confidence in the vet, please seek another, ensuring he/she is also avian certified.
