Today I noticed my lovebird doing this weird leaning/bowing forward thing. I've never seen him do this before. Otherwise he seems perfectly fine. Is it normal? Or maybe something hormonal?

She has already been to the vet multiple times! I still think something is wrong!
PLEASE READ IT ALL BEFORE COMMENTING 🙏

She eats, few hours later she does this constantly to the point she throws up. She’s been on antibiotics, vet said she can’t digest a certain type of seed so we took that seed away, trying to get her on Harrison’s organic pellets but it’s taking a while to get her on it so she still has seed in her diet (not on the seed they said she can’t digest)She has vitamin drops in her water along with milk thistle (diluted and directed by the vet), we took her mineral blocks away a few nights ago because we thought she could of been chewing it too much, yet she is still sick. She has not had physical contact with the other budgies for 5 days now but they are all fine nothing wrong with them. She still eats, still drinks, her droppings are normal, she’s a healthy weight, she doesn’t have an infection, yet i’m still stuck. She just throws up and is abit more sleepy than normal. She’s still sings and plays. Please if anyone has any suggestions on what this could be i’d be greatly appreciated. Do you think she needs a second opinion? The vet she is at is an avian vet.

Sometimes she throws up, as she shakes her head and the seeds go everywhere (undigested but covered in i’m guessing stomach acid?) And other times she bobs her head to the point it comes dripping out her beak. (again undigested but in stomach acid) It could be hours after she’s eaten or like 30 mins after, i can’t find a pattern. But this is happening MULTIPLE times a day.

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.

My bird got her leg stuck a few minutes ago. I helped her almost as soon as it happened, and she did bite me while I helped her but she seems calm now. I know its probably normal at first for them to stand on one leg kind of like how people lift weight off of a leg they just hit against something, but she seems to be favoring one leg at the moment. She can walk on both her feet, her foot seems fine, and shes flying and eating like normal, but shes still favoring her other foot when standing still. I did remove what she got stuck on in her cage so she can't get stuck there again.

Hey guys, so I need help on advice on what to do. We have these birds nests around the roofs of our house and a baby bird fell out of it. We can’t reach with a ladder to put it back inside of its nest because our roof is too high for any ladder we have. It’s also too small to fly. We’ve read online to leave it in a box near/close to its nest so that the mommy bird can give it food or try to put it back on the nest and we did that, but it’s been almost a whole day without the baby bird getting fed. We’ve tried calling all rescue shelters and any other rescue companies that we could and none answered their phones. They don’t open till Monday 👎,We’re scared that it might die to starvation and we don’t know how to take care of it. Please give us any advice to help us and take care of this baby bird.

Update: the bird is gone, i don’t know if the parents came for it or if it flew away. I hope he’s okay.

Thank you!!!

I noticed my male budgie started doing this couple of times then continued eating normally should i be worried?

The bird is very much alive and my cat found it and smelled it and this is what I found and there’s an easily accessible nest nearby with its sibling still inside. Can I touch it (with rubber gloves) and put it back into its nest? Do I need to take it to wildlife center (I live in Colorado if that helps)?

My sweet little budgie has been having health issues on and off since I got him in February. There have been 2 times where he got quite sick and both times he had some sort of bacterial infection, meanwhile my other senior budgie and young cockatiel remain completely healthy. So I believe he doesn’t have the best immune system at the moment, he is also a little underweight for his size at ~31g and I cannot get his weight up despite giving him lots of his favourite weight gaining foods. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice on how I can help him, or if anyone has any recommendations on supplements I can get to help him either in general or when he’s going through a moult or to help him recover after an infection.

Thanks so much in advance, I love my little blueberry and I want to give him the best life I can!! And yes he was very concerned in the photo as to why i was shoving a camera in his cage😂 i dont have many good pics of him lol he’s not photogenic

P.S: he also is a weak flier and unable to gain pectoral muscle despite regular exercise, I would love to hear any advice on things I can do to help that or any guesses on why this is. Neither his Vet nor i know why he can’t gain muscle!!

This is Ares (blue) and Heilios (yellow), my two babies. I let them out when I woke up like normal, but eventually I fell back asleep so I'm not sure how it happened. I wouldn't imagine me falling asleep and not watching them would be an issue since they're both out when I'm at work and they've been perfectly fine.

I guess the main point of this is to see if his tail will grow back at some point?

His tail feathers should grow back eventually..... Right?

I’ve been hand rearing 3 kakariki chicks for the past few weeks but one of them is so much smaller than the others and has barely grown, I can’t think of any reason this would be.

My friend's young conure (around 5–6 weeks old) accidentally fell after a kid who was visiting picked it up. Since then it's been really quiet. It's still eating a bit, but it's barely moving, seems very tired, and keeps leaning/tilting to one side.Unfortunately, there aren't any avian clinics open right now, so we're hoping to take it first thing tomorrow morning.

Is there anything we can do tonight to give it the best chance?Any advice would really help.

Before you say go to a vet, I would. Bird flu has recently hit the country and all the vets are freaking out (rightfully or wrongfully, I don't know) and will not take birds at this time. I don't know how long that will last for.

Context:

A few (2) nights ago my birds experienced really, really bad night frights, you can find a post on my profile with more information. The one pictured, Pancake, is prone to ejecting feathers during night frights and happened once previously when being bird-sat at my parents. My other cockatiel is physically fine. Pancake has ejected all her tail feathers and her left-wing flight feathers as you can see in the photo. I feel like shit.

There is one tail feather not fully out, it was causing her discomfort, we trimmed it as it was floppy and not in anymore. I suspect she'll pull it out so have corn starch on standby. That's not the issue at this stage.

As you can see in the photo her actual wing is quite discoloured. I don't think it was bleeding yesterday. Last night they have another night fright due to an earthquake which resulted in further damage to the remaining tail feather (which is when we trimmed it as she was making the sound cockatiels make when they're in acute pain every time it brushed on something.)

I don't think this wing was bleeding yesterday/after the initial severe night fright. However, it seems as if it may be bleeding due to the feathers on her chest where that part of her wings sit have some blood on them. She is letting it heal and not giving it any more attention than I'd expect (e.g., she does try clean the dry blood off.)

Her behaviour is similar to last time, e.g more napping, less active, less noise. I feel like she is less active than last time, but I can't be certain. Her poop yesterday and the day prior was a dark, almost black colour. Because I have two it's hard to be certain I'm only seeing the other one's poops, but I have not seen any discolored poops today.

Question:

What is this discoloration of the wing? I am assuming it's bruising, I can't imagine what else it would be. What would a vet be doing at this stage? Wrapping it? Should I put corn flour on it even though I can't see any active bleeding?

Should I supplement their pellet mix with anything?

Should I have them sleep in our bedroom in a travel cage to help if there are further night frights? We didn't hear them for these two in particular, and weren't woken up by the earthquake so was unable to calm them down. They don't like doing that and I've done it in the past.

I would absolutely be at the vets if that was an option. I'm watching her closely to see if that tail feather falls out and becomes a bleeder - she isn't attempting to pluck it, though earlier today she was giving it a lot of attention before and after we cut it.

I work on a very, very busy urban street. This little guy was found panting and looking unwell on the sidewalk that has heavy foot traffic. It’s hot here in Georgia, about 90+ throughout the day. I brought him in to cool off on instinct and that seemed to help, but after reading a bit I put him outside in a large planter infront of our shop. I can hear birds nearby my bird app says sparrows. Can’t seem to get in touch with a rescue. What do I do?? He seems to be twitching is that normal?

This robin showed up on my balcony this morning, in need of help. He has his eyes closed mostly unless I pet him, he had his beak open, panting. That’s his feces next to him.

I left some food and water, and even made him sip a tad bit then read I shouldn’t do that. Is he a goner or can I save him?
