Comments for Parakeet Disease Symptoms

Gracious, 10 February 2023

My budgie, Marker, is always fluffed up which hasn't bothered me until he can't fly very far, or when he does, he collides into the wall or a piece of furniture. It scares me, he's been sick before. Usually, his cage is next to a window to let the sunlight in, but he hasn't been flying out and going to warmer places if he's cold. His head feathers are also falling out, which makes think he's molting, it IS February, and pretty decent where we are. He's very picky, and won't eat fresh fruits or vegetables, but he CONSTANTLY eats seeds and millet. (I have a suspicion he has diarreha) His poo used to we 'normal' but know it's crusty white. Does he have a liver problem or something??

My 2 parakeets do not appear sick in any way. But there is always a dark grey rim around their water bowl. They have 2 other water sources so I’m wondering if they are bathing in this one, and if so, are they working as mechanism at night? Why is it consistently there? Have you heard of this before?

My parakeet also began to stand on 1 leg and I noted some nodules on the not used leg. The Avery vet said it looked like gout which in a bird will cause kidney failure. And thus it was….there Is no treatment and she left us a few months later. It would be wise to see an Avery vet.

Hii ! My parakeet only uses one leg, seems like the other one is paralyzed he doesn’t use it at all out of nowhere & is all fluffed up. What is it ?

Very useful information and gives detail information that the novice owner does not know or overlook.

My budgie of 7 months got sick yesterday morning and I’m not sure of what. She still eats, drinks water and makes an attempt to tweet a little, but is very puffed up, sleeps, and her feet are cold. I put her in a separate cage so she wouldn’t contaminate the other birds. I don’t really have the money to go to the vet to find out what’s wrong, but I don’t want whatever illness she has to result in her death. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

I have an aviary with 4 male budgies. Two adopted and I am not sure of their ages. One of these has had a change in their droppings-from normal to reddish brown-dark. The others seem to be normal and he is eating and chirping and hopping around and messing with one of the mirrors. Any ideas?
