Comments for Parakeet Disease Symptoms

Margaret, 3 January 2019

My budgie has all of a sudden stopped talking . She used to talk for hours but not now , she is also very quiet and does not play like she did . She has her freedom we only shut her in at night but she does not want to come out as often as she did . I am worried . The vet in my area does not seem to know a lot about budgies . What can I do ?

Donna, I have the same problem as you. My budgie is also 5 and acting just like you said. Since your comment was posted on the 2nd, is he better now? Did you take him to the vet?

My new budgie fries and my other new one ari both are acting up. Fries is breathing though her mouth and ari is very depressed. Before you reply please note my parents don’t bring them to the vet, silly I know. But their reason breaks my heart. Their reason is because they don’t wanna spend 100+ on a 20$ bird, which is understandable but just breaks my heart. Thanks for any help- love from canada

Not a comment but I need help with my new parakeet I just brought her home yesterday most of her tail feather is gone she has a dirty bottom with no feathers around it and I've witnessed her rubbing her bottom on her perch a few times and right above her cere it is a little bit crusty looking but the pet store lady told me that is normal for a female she's constantly grooming her bottom area. Does anyone have any idea what should I do?

Hi guys,I’ve had two new budgies around my older one. I’ve had the new two for at least 4-5 months now and the older one for about a year now. One of the two, Yuki, has been making a weird sound almost like coughing or sneezing. I don’t know what to do. Please help!

I have a young budgie had him five weeks always chirpy and talking to his mirror, the last two days his behaviour has changed today he slept all day now he will not stop eating, his poo is normal but he is acting strange no chatting to his mirror, took his food way for a while he went mad. I have no vets near me to help. I recently had one young bird dye on me no explanation. So I am concerned. Hi crop looks quite enlarged. He mainly eats seed.

My budgie has bloody poop. One point she wouldn’t move besides her wing shivering. Now she’s eating and hopping around, I hope she can last a few more years it’s us. But it’s unlikely

My budgie has got a red head he,s had it before but does usually clear up but I would like to know what it is he doesn't seem ill and is still talking

It was informative but I am still not sure if my budgie is sick. He went at me this morning when I went in his cage with my finger, he never has been a biter, he is very quiet, he has been in a very long molt and this morning is still loosing small feathers. I don't think he is eating or drinking enough, He is not ruffled in his feathers. He is just acting very different and I don't want to loose him. He is 5 years old and that is young I think. Would like a comment from you, thanks, Donna
