I’m having a pair of pet birds candy and tweety , these are the African love birds I think they are having health issues,where they are not eating food ,sitting on bottom of the cage ,and having watery stools or droppings
Thanks for reaching out about Candy and Tweety. Heat support in the 80-85 F range can give comfort. With both birds ill, inhaled or ingested toxins, a virulent bacterial or viral disease are probable and a veterinary visit is needed ASAP, as birds have little reserves to fall back on. Good luck.

This baby lovebird was thrown out of the nest by his mum, his sibling is much bigger and stronger. He had a lot of food/snot build up on his nose which I removed. He is sneezing sometimes and his nostrils have a clear snotty discharge. It's hard for
Thanks for reaching out about Eggbert and including a photo. These baby parrots need to be fed every 3-4 hours, almost as soon as the crop empties. Providing heat and humidity support are very important. Concerns are over some underlying disease (bacterial, viral, developmental) and that is why hen kicked it out of the nest. A veterinary visit might be needed to assess and determine if antibiotics might be needed. Good luck.

My love bird seems to have a bumble foot how can i treat it at home?
Epsom salt soaks of the affected foot as well as treating any open wounds and keeping the area clean and free of debris may help with minor infections, however if the foot does not recover, worsens, or Baby blue is showing other signs of illness, it is best to seek veterinary care in person so the area can be properly cleaned, drained, and antibiotics or other treatments started.

i have a budgie and i he is in problem. he sleeps most of the time with fluffed up feather and from there is clear fluid discharge from his nose. there is no avian vet in my city, what should i do? can you suggest me some medication or any procedure
Thanks for reaching out about Pearl. It is illegal to recommend or prescribe any medications without seeing a patient, so that is not possible. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give comfort. Removing perches and providing a soft towel on which to stand will require less energy expenditure. Maybe a dog/cat veterinary can at least provide some antibiotics or consult with another veterinarian. There is a fair chance this is not bacterial in nature, including metabolic (liver, renal), ingested toxins (plants, metals), other. Good luck.

My pet bird was acting weird while I was heating the oven, turns out someone had left a pan in while it pre heated. I immediately turned off the oven and aired out the room. The bird is chirping quietly and moving around grooming his feathers, should
Thanks for reaching out about Buddy. Keeping good ventilation is important as bird's respiratory tracts are very sensitive to toxins (thats why canaries in coal mines). If breathing is impaired, a veterinary emergency visit is needed for oxygen support, anti-inflammatories, and possibly antibiotics. Teflon and other non-stick pans can release toxic substances when heated up to a high temperature, and can be fatal to birds. Monitor appetite and water consumption. Good luck.
