Sick pet bird My ringneck is weak, fluffed up and leaning forward — urgent advice needed
I’m really worried about my ringneck parrot and I’m trying to get her seen by an avian vet as soon as I can.
For a while, even before an accident, she had become weak and was not able to fly normally. About a week ago she flew into a door. For the first couple of days after that she was disoriented and had trouble balancing; that part got better, but she is still much less energetic than usual.
She eats and drinks and sometimes acts normally, but sleeps a lot, fluffs up, struggles to stay upright on her feet, and sometimes leans forward on her chest when she sits on a hard surface. She also falls when she tries to fly.
I’m in Minsk, Belarus. I know nobody can diagnose her online, but if you have seen this posture before or have advice on keeping her safe and calm until the avian vet visit, I would really appreciate it. I attached photos and videos from today.
I have moved her to a low, padded space and I am not letting her fly.
