AVIAN HEALTH ADVICE

We would emphasise the importance of seeking veterinary advice immediately if your bird is experiencing:

Loss of appetite Abdominal Swelling Signs of burns
Weight loss Prolapsed cloaca Bleeding or other signs of trauma
Depression Breathing difficulty Loss of balance
Weakness Coughing, sneezing, wheezing Seizures
Diarrhoea or unusual droppings Favouring one leg or wing Paralysis
Regurgitation Broken bone Coma
Malnutrition is a significant health issue for pet birds - it is the cause of 90% of illness in parrots - but there are often no early signs. However, if it is allowed to continue you may start to see the following:

SKIN: dryness, flaking, long nails and overgrown beaks.
RESPIRATORY: sinusitis, sneezing, liths in the nose, airsacculitis, aspergillosis
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: enteritis, hepatitis, pancreatitis (shows up as dark green coloured stools, or diarrhoea or not eating/no stools)
REPRODUCTIVE: egg binding, infertility, weak chicks
ENDOCRINE: feather picking, etc.
FEATHERS: failure to moult, poor quality, abnormal colouring

If you are in any way concerned about the health of your bird then consult your veterinarian.
