Is my parakeet sick? Help please?

This is kind of urgent, I want a real answer… >_<

Back in may, I bought two budgerigars, both green, One male, one female, named Jack and Jill. They’ve been living in a cage in my room. Jack is older and darker in color, Jill was a child when I bought her (she had lots of stripes).

I’m starting to think Jill is sick, somehow. But I’m not sure if it’s just her going through adolescence/teenager-ness/puberty or her being sick.

A few days ago, she started to lose a few stripes on her forehead, and she’s suddenly really really hyper. She’s normally active, but she’s been making very loud “ACK ACK” sounds that sound like screaming, very often. She’ll often just sit there and go “ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK” for like a minute, is this natural? I’ve also realized she’s moulting a lot more than Jack. Today, I became a little scared. I realized that the feathers around her face (her cere is just fine.) are kind of…ruffled and notably messy, it’s hard to describe. I assumed it was scaly face mites, but after research and comparing pics of scaly face keets to her face, I have dismissed this.

Her attitude, aside from the screaming, has not changed. She still loves to play with Jack and as I type she is playing with her swing toy.

I normally change their water and food daily, clean bottom of the cage bi-daily, and give them a bath spray bi-daily. I’ve tried feeding them fruits but they always ignore them

So, in short, is Jill sick, or is she just going through her teen stages? If she’s sick, what should I do?

Thanks, any answerers.

i think my parakeet might be sick.?

i heard my parakeet making this weird noise this morning that kind of sounded like a cough or a sneeze and he had wet stuff on the front of his chest area. When i take him out he automatically starts pooping and it doesn’t really look normal, kind of really watery. i just didn’t know if this was normal or if he is sick. please help it would be much appreciated! thanks

what does it mean when a parakeet is going bald?

One of my parakeet looks sick & is losing a lot of feathers on its head. It is starting to look bald. I wanted to know if this usually happens & what does it mean.
