If your lovebirds are having diarrhea a good first step is to remove any extras such as treats, fruits, and veggies for a few days as these can cause diarrhea in some birds. Making sure they are on a lovebird diet.

If the diarrhea continues, deworming the birds to remove any parasites is another step you can take, however if the problem persists it is best to bring them into a vet for an exam and care to rule out any more serious issues such as illness or infection.

My lovebird has rough and red nostrils, it started getting rough now its red. He also seems to be very lazy.
Use a warm, moist washcloth to clear away any discharge or crust. Consider an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet to diagnose illness or injury. In the meantime, clean and sanitize Blue's cage, bowls, toys and perches. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Use paper towels on the cage bottom and change them daily. Keep Blue warm and as stress free as possible until she sees the doctor.

Hey guys I have an opaline lutino love bird and I noticed a weird dropping that I will attach it in the photos down bellow. And I think he has been dehydrated I gave him antibiotic but it didn't work I think and also I think he has a respiratory infe
The consistency and appearance of droppings can be affected by diet. It is possible Flint had some fruit or fluids which resulted in looser droppings than normal. If he is behaving normally, keep an eye on what he eats and his droppings. If they remain loose and larger than normal, consider an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian. You may want to submit the droppings to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial/fungal overgrowth. It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of your veterinarian. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying condition which can delay diagnosis. If Flint did have an infection that was not susceptible to the antibiotic used, then there would be no improvement. An exam would be recommended to diagnose and properly treat any infection. Your vet can also take a look at the wing feathers to rule out infection (mites, bacterial, viral, fungal). You can bathe or mist

Is it normal for birds to bite their feet and nails? If there's a problem how can I help it at home.? (It's winter at my place fyi in case it happens due to dryness)
Thanks for reaching out about Tweety. It really depends on if there is damaging being done. Grooming is normal, but if chewing to the point of wounds or bleeding, then a veterinary visit is needed. The feet and legs can be cleaned with warm water and a gentle soap. Good luck.

I want a pet bird but I have NO space!! I want one of those gothic hanging cages…would one of those work? What’s a bird that’s low maintenance (I’m not good at cleaning cages) I also want one with a not super long life span.
Birds can be fun pets to have around the house, but I have to say that they are all high-maintenance. They require daily feeding, cleaning bathing and appropriate enrichment in order to keep them happy and healthy. If this is not provided, then you may end up with a miserable/sickly bird with no feathers. Vet bills can be very expensive when birds get sick, because there are limited veterinarians that are knowledgable and skilled with avian medicine. Providing as much space as possible is best for a bird. I think I have an idea of the type of cage you want, but this is not a very suitable cage for anything other than a small bird (tend to have shorter life-spans than bigger birds). Even then it's quite small for a bird, because birds are born with the expectation of having unlimited space. You will also have to consider the noise. If your place is small, then I'd assume you have close neighbors. Birds are generally very noisy and can easily make some enemies in close quar
