    My parakeet is sick…what’s wrong and what could a vet do to help him…could he become better?

    almost constantly fluffed up & sleeping, slightly runny stools, not perky & chirping like usual, but eating/drinking normally.
    stools stuck to bottom feathers

    Sick Parakeet ,or not, whats wrong?

    So i have had this parakeet for just over a year and a half now i got her a few weeks after she was born and hand raised. its female so it laid one egg about 5 months ago, ever since then there have been no feathers on her …. bottom (the but area) and it is very irritated looking …. for the past few weeks she has been having wastes stuck in her bottom and such, i tried washing it off but that didn’t work it and it was obviously causing her pain, is she sick? what should i do to help her? I am not gonna take her to the vet b/c the bill would be twice the cost of what she was and last time i took her the vet didn’t know what was wrong (when she was laying her egg)

    thanks in advance for your advice

    What’s wrong with my parrot?

    My parrot (actually a rosella parakeet) has a swollen chest/throat. It looks like its crop is very much swollen. The bird huddles quite a bit, but often acts normally despite the grossly swollen throat. It still has a good appetite. The other day I had to capture the bird, however, because it had hardened “poop” all around its vent. Can these two symptoms be related? What is wrong with my parrot?

    whats wrong with my parakeets?!?

    both parakeets are at least a year or more, the one used to be scared of everythingm when i would reach towards her she would hurry and fly away or if she knew she coulkdnt get away she bite me as hard as she could, but now she dont fly away that much, she still does but i can touch her which i was never able to do before, she dont bite me either, she doesnt sit at the bottom of the cage and she still eats, whats wrong with her? the other is acting aggressive with me, my dad and another parakeet he used to be obbsessed with, its male cause we’ve had him a year now and his nose is purple/blue, so whats wrong with him? whats wrong with my parakeets? and if it’s an illness will my other parakeets and cockatiel get it?
    p.s. both parakeets live at seperate ends of the house and are never near each other.

    I think my parakeet might be sick, what is wrong with it?

    It just sits there all day, and I have the hardest time trying to get it to eat my diarrhea, why?

    My parakeet is sick and i need to know whats wrong?

    he has had intestinal problems for 2 or more months

    is there something wrong with my female parakeet?

    ok, lately everytime i go in my room to give my budgie’s fresh food and water my female budgie is fine but when im done and i go to leave, she acts like she does when shes having an egg (she laid an infertile egg beofre, so i know what it looks like) and if u dont know what that looks like go to youtube an type in “parakeet laying egg” but i know shes not laying one or is egg bound because shes been doing this for a few days now, is there something wrong with her or is she just telling me to stay out?

    Is my parakeet sick? Shes PANTING! What’s wrong?

    My parakeet has been panting all day. At first I thought she was hot, but she has not stopped all day even as its cooled down in the house. I know parakeets are prone to respiratory infections… if this is the case what can I do for her?

    It’s too late to call an aviary veterinarian, but I did look up one, and will call in the morning if I can’t help her or she isn’t acting better tomorrow.

    Is there something wrong with my parakeet that is only affecting other birds?

    I have had my parakeet for about six months, he was given to me because he wasn’t being properly cared for. His previous cage mate had recently died (I’m not sure the cause) so I decided to get him another bird for company. The new bird lived for about five months until I randomly found him dead one night. He didn’t show any symptoms, wasn’t acting unusual or anything. My bird got really depressed not having company, so again I got another parakeet so he wouldn’t be lonely. I have only had this bird for about two weeks now, and this morning I found her dead. I have no idea what could be causing this. The only constant is my first bird. I know it’s hard to tell when birds are sick, but he’s almost two years old, so if something is wrong with him, wouldn’t it have affected him by now?

    If somebody could please help me out and try to figure out what’s going on, and what I should do with my bird.
    Current parakeet is a female.
    Previous birds he has been caged with: one female, one male, and the last one was too young for me to tell.

    The birds that I have found dead did not show any signs of physical distress, they didn’t have any bleeding, cuts, scrapes, etc.

    The bird that I have left has always been extremely friendly with the others too, so I would be surprised if he were being aggressive towards them only when I wasn’t around.

    whats wrong with my female parakeet? (PLZ read)?

    my 1 year old female parakeet screams alot, and doesnt like any cage mate i put with her, i put a male parakeet with her and she just ignored him and i even went out and bought a cockatiel with her and she liked him at first but started getting aggresive with him, to the point of screaming at him when he ate, i had to take him out because he wouldn’t eat, so now she’s alone which is a problem, last time she was alone she got way to obbsessed with her mirror, she would sit in front of it and act like she wanted it to mate with her, she would put her tail up in the air and lean forward and she would stop and peck and kick the mirror, and she was at the point where she wouldnt leave the mirror, which ment she wouldnt eat, so then i took the mirror out and she got too depressed where she still wouldnt eat, thats when i got the cockatiel, she’s alone now and she has a mirror which i dont want her to have because shes already showing signs that she likes it too much, so what could be wrong with her? some kind of illness or mental illness? and i know she could die from it, so what can i do to help her? she doesnt like me at all so socializeing with me wont work, and im not going to breed her so im not getting her a male parakeet and im not getting her a female parakeet cause i know they will fight. so what could be wrong with her?
    and don’t tell me that they don’t need a nestbox to mate, my breeding pair have mated and had eggs without a nestbox.
    *******i ment, that they need a nest box to mate*******
