[@dawncastrogiovanni3915]

When my Cockatiel was diagnosed with lung cancer he had a hard time breathing, but his beak was not open. He was breathing so hard that he was rocking. The Vet thought it was strange that his beak was not open. He still preened himself. He did not want to eat though. He was very weak so I had to carry him in my hands. He did not want to be in a cage, he only wanted to be with me. He sat with me for the last three days and he slept with us in a travel cage lined with a soft blanket because he wanted to be close with us. When we had him euthanized the Vet said that he would have only had a couple days left. That was 5 months ago. We are still heart broken.

Very helpful video. Awe, I’m sorry Monty is sick. I hope he gets better soon ❤️

[@stantrim5156]

Very informative video, we got a young budge that had her wings clipped so the only flying she did is a short flight to the floor. Now after having her for about five months she is wanting to fly. At first she practiced in the cage flapping her wings so not knowing if she could actually fly we decided to leave the cage door open one evening because she is not tame enough to sit on your finger and very Leary of getting close to the open cage door. Well, we found out that she can fly very well, but she does not know how to slow down before hitting a wall. I would hate to see her break her neck before actually learning how to navigate the house safely. How do the birds know not to fly full speed into a wall? I can’t teach her to fly a bit slower and put the breaks on before hitting the wall, so what do we do? I hate to take chances with our bird. So what is the best thing to do because she wants to fly again. She flaps her wings and looks at us as if to say she wants to fly again. We tamed one budge a few years ago and can’t recall that bird flying straight into the walls

[@stantrim5156]

Any advise would be helpful please reply we need help

[@ElleAndTheBirds]

Stan Trim the reason she’s flying into walls is probably because she was clipped too young before learning how to fly. She never got a chance to learn how to slow down or turn at that critical fledging stage. For now I’d say the best thing to do would be lightly clipping her again just to slow her down so she doesn’t hurt herself, until she’s tame enough to sit on your finger. Once she’s tame you should let the feathers grow back and teach her to do small hops to your hand, and slowly increase the distance until she can fly to your hand. It takes time to learn how to fly with skill, so don’t be discouraged if she can’t do it right away.

[@Loveofpets]

They will crash and burn the first few times but let them keep trying. That's the only way they will learn. Close your curtains so he does not fly into the window. Place in a bigger room so be can learn to navigate better. He will need to learn to turn, fly up and down and land and to do boomarangs.

[@kaitlynboone5134]

I just got a bird from the pet store and she’s been breathing heavily. Since I’m new to owning a bird I don’t know much about how they act when you first bring them home. I don’t know if it’s stress from being moved away from her mate and being in a box for a bit till I got home. If anyone could let me know I’d appreciate it so much. I have no vets around me or pet stores that can look at a bird.

[@ethansully]

My bird was showing really sick symptoms for the first time so I rushed him to the ER because this was the first time he’s been sick. The closest ER was like an hour away. He had to get surgery because he got an impaction from chewing socks. They had to do surgery on him so I left him at the clinic overnight. They called me in the middle of the day and asked if I wanted them to do surgery. I was upset because I told them to just do the surgery right away. I got him back at night and the surgery went great. We had to give him his antibiotics the next day but right when I got back home he started laying down on his back. He was still breathing and he had a heartbeat so I thought he was just exhausted from the anesthesia. I put him in a warm basket so he could rest easily. When it was time for him to get up his eyes weren’t pooping out like they used to be, his eyelids were half closed, he had no heartbeat, he wasn’t breathing, and he didn’t respond to anything. I knew it was too late. It probably would’ve been too late if I went back to the ER. I let them do a necropsy and it turns out he had a pulmonary embolism after surgery. He was only 3 years old and he was supposed to live a long time after that. He was also my first pet. Worst thing I’ve ever experienced

[@nomadhomad3685]

My cockatiel has a runny nose and sneezes a lot. She is still preening, eating and being energetic as much as she can rn because shes a bit older. She tail bobs a little im not sure if she was doing that before, but her mouth isnt opened. Its a little colder out here where i live so i think that she might caught a cold. I will try to get her to the vet as soon as i can. Its hard when i try to explain to my parents what is ok and what not with my bird. They just get very annoyed with me and they dont think that taking her to the vet is a must. Im trying to give her the best life i possibly can.

Definitely take her to an avian vet. Birds try to hide illness as they are prey animals and once they show signs they are very sick and can go downhill quickly.

When i got my cockatiel ( a year ago )he already had crooked toes but he didn't look sick or anything .Today he started looking very tired , sleeps a lot and half closes his eyes (he doesn't have any other symptom mentioned in the video).He has difficulty walking, limping and seems to be in pain when he walks he cannot stand on his feet and lies down to sleep .It looks like some kind of foot paralysis (he is 1 year old and some months)this is all happening in one day and I don't know what to do.What do you think?

It's hard to say what is wrong with your Cockatiel. His symptoms could mean many different issues from a virus, bacteria infection, organ issues, arthritis, broken bones or other health issues. It's best to take him to an avian veterinarian for a diagnosis.

Hi, it's best to have him checked out by an avian vet. It could be many reasons why he has a bald spot and why he is picking at it. It could be bacterial, parasites, allergies, environmental, viral, diet or other reasons. He may need medication and a cone.

Hello! I cannot tell if my tiel is sick. He sits at the bottom of the cage quite a lot but he’s playful and chirps, and he does walk around. Recently he’s been pooping more frequently and i feel like it’s more so of clear liquid. I think he’s been limping slightly on one foot but i can’t tell exactly? I’m worried about him though i don’t want any false alarms… I can’t afford to take him to the vet right now. Any recommendations or feedback? Please.

[@Loveofpets]

Ask family and friends for help or ask your avian vet if there is a payment plan available. Put him in a hospital cage, no grate, low comfortable perch, place a towel on the bottom of cage with paper towel over towel for easy cleaning. Keep the cage clean, provide clean, fresh water and food. Keep in a warm area.

[@emilyluevano3052]

A few days ago I had found a moth and a fecal dropping in my cockatiels water bowl, but I cleaned it out and refilled it with new fresh clean water. The next morning my bird wakes up and regurgitates his food and sat at the bottom of his cage and slept all day. Today he seems strong enough to scream and fly and he still has a good appetite and no change in his fecal droppings but I have not seen him drink any water since he had regurgitated his food.

Tuesday June 7, Cockatiel, had a hurt foot, was limping, June 8th, still hobbling, but able to eat and drink, took to the vet, bird (Noah), healthy except for the hobbling and a slight knot in the foot, Vet gave meloxicam to help for inflammation, next day, June 9th dead... To some, it's just a bird, to me: I went to the vet to check out foot pain and now she's dead.

Hi Donna! Another informative video. The demonstrations of hospital cages and carriers taught me some new things, like providing a darkened area for the bird to rest. I'm glad you showed the plastic critter keeper. They are all sizes, colors, lightweight and see through, really convenient and easy to clean. Mine gets used to catch bugs and lizards that get in the house that I can't catch in my hands and then open a door to put them outside. Life in Florida will provide interesting wildlife visitors in your house. Kingsley enjoyed being the star of the show and he sure enjoys your long hair! Thanks for putting out this information as I think new bird owners and even those of us who have had birds for 30 years or more all learned something from this video.

Thanks, Donna for the information on bird's being sick. I have a Conure I've had her since she was six weeks old and that was in 2014. She can talk ,dance, cry and fuss at me when she's feeling good. But for the past three nights I haven't slept cause she's been crying when I leave her, & 0range Blossoms (cockatiels)( Pineapple)is the conure when I leave them Pineapple will cry and say come here I used to fall for that but when I get back to her,she would laugh at me. So now whenever she crying, I wait & listen to her cries but lately they are grinding sound so I don't move. Pineapple won't go into her house ( cage) she rather sleep on my dresser top of it. In the daytime she sleeps on top of the refrigerator underneath two cabinets. Whenever she hears the door she peeps out to see who it is. She lost her toenails on her left foot and it was bleeding when I came back from the hospital. My girl's get mad when I leave them alone and they don't speak to me. Blossoms can say a few words, come here,,mama Pineapple will not talk or listen to me,or obey me .

I don't know of a Veterinarian for bird's, here in Richmond, Va. They catered to dog,cats.

[@shirleykaye4344]

@@wandamccutchen4206 Hi Wanda, I don't know what to say. Been praying for you and your birds all day. One thing to keep on hand is called Qwick Stop (I think that is the spelling). It is a styptic powder with a numbing agent in it to use when a pet is bleeding. It is not uncommon that when you cut a pet's toenails the quick of the nail gets cut and bleeds like crazy, thus the name. It can be used on other places but I have only used it on my dogs' toenails, birds' toenails and one of my birds' beak as I trimmed it too short. Donna and the vet can give you better information than I can about what is going on with your birds. Letting them roam free, unsupervised, can lead to bad accidents, escapes and other sadness. It is best that they sleep in the safety of their cages and that they associate their cage as their safe place. Since both of your birds are acting differently than they used to, something maybe going on. My Amazon used to scream in the night. I would run into the bird room with a flashlight and he would laugh, just like your bird is doing. It is parrot humor. He used to also hang upside down from his swing with his wings hanging down, like he was dead, and then would laugh when I rushed over in terror. These birds are much smarter than people realize and they try to become the top of the pecking order in the house and have you be their slave! It is good that you are taking Pineapple to the vet because often we can't tell if the bird is sick or is just having a behavioral issue. Better safe than sorry! I hope everything turns out ok. I'm sorry to hear that you are unwell and having to deal with the stress and worry. Please let me know how the vet visit goes. I will keep you and your birds in my prayers. Shirley

I would like to share something with your viewers. I spoke with the owner of the store I got Rio from almost 10 years now. He told me apple cider vinegar only a few 2 drops in his water dish. I used Bragg's apple cider vinegar I believe it help him. They told me for a cup of water put in 8-10 drops Rio's water dish is over 1/2 cup but I only put in a little.

Great advice! I have used Apple cider vinegar and it helps

If a cockatiel bird with open mouth is jst wiggling his tongue and shivering from chest to stomach what does it mean ??? My bird is doing lik that...but he suddenly does that at anytime..what does it mean ??

Hi, that isn't normal and not sure why your bird is doing that. It's definitely a reason to take your bird to your avian vet.

[@samvalecaaguilar1807]

my bird is vomiting and sitting all fluffy. we dont have a vet. what do i do?

[@Loveofpets]

Call your local vets and ask if they know of any avian vets that do telemedicine. Search on line for avian telemedicine vets as most are doing this now during the pandemic. In the meantime cover the cage to keep him warm with a towel or blanket and leave the front of the cage open for breathing. Provide fresh water and food. If he is not eating offer spray millet as they usually eat spray millet. Take out higher up perches and leave a lower perch so he does not fall from higher up perches if weak.

[@samvalecaaguilar1807]

@@Loveofpets Thank you for the advice, we took him to the vet and he must've eaten something that swelled up his stomach 3 times more then its original size. He has 3 medicines he has to take and special liquid food to eat until he gets better. But currently, he is in his cage with the blanket down.

[@Loveofpets]

That's great you took him to the vets. I hope he gets better soon

My cockatiel shakes in his cage, and stays in the corner until I see him then he comes closer to me. He also sneezes and I know this because when he “sneezed” there was water sprayed on me. When he comes out of the cage, he doesn’t seem to be sick. Help?

[@Loveofpets]

It's best to take him to an avian vet. Birds hide their illness especially when they are near you. It's not normal to shake and sneeze.

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

and please this needs to be said. if you don't have an avian vet nearby don't get a bird or move closer. they deserve the best life. lots of ppl are commenting about not having a vet nearby and I just wonder wth they would do if there was no doctor for themselves. emergencies happen. sickness happen. for the love of god, if u can't take proper care of someone else's life DON'T BRING THEM INTO YOUR LIFE

[@peanuts2197]

I know you got a lot of comments asking for your help but if you can pls help me out. My green cheeked conure had a swollen red bump on his eye, I was concerned and my mom knew of a vet who ended up giving me some eye drops, eventually the eye started getting better. Everything was fine but yesterday , he vomited for the first time and I freaked out because vomiting is one of the most telling signs of illness. That same day I went to check on him and to my surprise there was a mouse in my birds cage, probably lured in by the seeds. I put him in a different cage away from the place the other cage was at and seems to be eating and drinking. My bird is itching a lot today and unusually took two bathes in a day. He seemed very puffed today but I’m not sure since I may be freaking out because of the vomit. I am very confused idk what’s up. I am planning to go to the vet but I’m not very sure if I’ll be able to in the end (idk where an avian is but I hope either my vet will give me direction or actually help my bird)

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, hope your bird is okay. It's best to go to an avian vet. Ask your local vet if he knows of any and search on Google. Some avian vets may do telemedicine and can help you that way. You have to figure out if he was actually vomiting or regurgitating.

[@peanuts2197]

Love of Pets I went to the vet and turns out he has a vitamin A deficiency, he vomited only once (I do know it’s not regurgitating) we got some drops for the eye and some vitamin A plus a list of fruits to give, thank you sm ❤️

[@sherrigodbey9244]

This is an awesome video on sick bird care, Donna! You touched on all the major points, and I love your simplicity and affordability of your bird hospital set up. I prefer to use heating pads versus thermal heat lamps. However, I can’t find pet heating pads that stay on for more than two hours. If I use the heat lamps, I have to be careful not to over heat the bird it’s hard to monitor them if one Hass to be away from home for an extended period such as when one goes to work, another item I use in my bird hospital is a cool mist humidifier, I put it next to the the cage or aquarium to provide humidity and prevent dehydration.

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you. I use a mist humidifier in my bird room as well as it gets so dry in the winter. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Can someone that's been through this help me?? I bought my second monk/quacker parrot almost 2 weeks ago. I noticed the feathers around nostrils were missing and it was sneezing a bunch with small amount of clear water discharge from nose. I took to vet they gave me these drops to put in nostrils. Its been almost 10 days and there is no change. Still eating formula everyday pooping fine. Moving around fine and talking but it's still sneezing. What else could be causing this? I've tried the antibiotic drops from vet. I've tried the doxycycline you mix in water just in case it's chlamydia. But there is no change. Vet said lungs heart and air sac sound great. Was some underweight so been giving more formula throughout day. Breeder I bought from said it was pretty much weaned and was only eating formula once a day. First day here it was eating seeds and other things with formula once a day. Vet told me was not weaned yet. It stopped eating seeds and solid food. Strictly only formula now Vet says that is fine since it's underweight. But I can't for the life of me figure out the sneezing. My other quacker had never had any of these issues. I hate having them separated because it was only reason I wanted another but have to be safe until this is figured out. Anyone with help please let me know. 😞
