sick bird


Question Posted Friday June 2 2006, 3:40 pm

i think my budgie is sick.he sits with his feathers all poofed up all the time.today, he had black liquid on his nose and beak.i usually keep my room where he stays pretty cool, so that could be the cause of it.does anyone have any ideas on what he might have and what to do about it or how to treat it?

also, should i leave the black stuff on his nose and beak, or should i clean it off?

thanks!

Budgies need to be in a constant tempurature of between 30-35C, with no fan heaters or lights providing the heat. They will conceal illness for as long as they can for protection, this comes from instincts they have left from being in the wild. A bird that is showing illness is a very sick bird. If the feathers are ruffled it means that it is chilled and trying to retain some heat, if the feathers are pulled close to the body, they are too hot.
He needs to see a vet asap, preferably one with a good knowledge of avian illnesses. THIS IS SERIOUS!
Best of luck to you.

Um I'm not quite sure..
but i dont think the bird is supposed to have black stuff on his beak, so maybe you should bring him to the vet, or call the vet and ask them? Just to be safe..

Anyways your birds behavior sounds peculiar anyways so yeah, I reccomend letting an animal doctor know asap!
