HELP QUICK
i think something is wrong with my parakeet!
hes been acting weird lately
hes about 5 years old
i let him out and he tries to fly but he falls to the ground hes never done that before
hes always been a good flyer
his feathers have been all fluffy for a day now without going normal.
i came home from school and he was at the bottom of his cage sitting there. and he never does that
he hates it down there. my previous parakeet died before i got this one and the symptoms are sort of the same, the whole flying thing and the sitting at the bottom of the cage thing. i really dont want him to die. does anyone know what could be wrong or what i could do to help him???

Like the others said, take him to the vet if you haven't already. It's not a good sign that he's sitting on the bottom of the cage, and that his feathers are fluffed- that's a sign of some sort of sickness (which one is impossible to tell, only the vet will know upon examining him). He could be sick and/or getting old.
Also, you should see what you've been feeding your bird. Sometimes giving your parakeet the wrong foods can make him ill.

Also, here's a website that has information, including info. on common parakeet illnesses:

Again, if you haven't already, take your parakeet to a vet who also deals with birds.
Hope your bird gets better!

What's wrong is that you have yet to take your bird to the vet. That could help him a ton. And if he does die, just remember that he was kinda old for a bird, and that it was his time to go.
You can always buy a new bird that'll love you just the same. =]

No one can diagnose- I am sorry! The best thing that you can do is bring him to the vet. It is the best thing for you, and your parakeet!
hope I helped!
And because of your past parakeet, it is even more important to bring him to a vet, to help save his life!
sorry!

Yah, it is a sign that something is wrong when they sit on the bottom of their cage rather than on their perch. And the trouble flying is another sign.
Best bet? Call a vet that cares for small animals ASAP. It may be something that can be helped, and honestly, only an examination done by a vet is the way to get the diagnosis of the problem.
