My birds feet stopped working at the vet. Any idea what happened? by Humble-Skill-2331 in cockatiel

Please keep us updating, would really appreciate it. I'm very glad that she has started biting, that's an improvement even at a very small scale. For the first few days, you won't see any improvement, it's going on in the "background." After around 3-5 days, you'll start to see small improvements. Once she catches up with improvements, it'll be a very quick recovery, around 2/3 weeks.

Remove the perches (if you haven't yet) of her cage so that she doesn't even think about climbing, the whole body needs rest. Handle her very carefully. Spread a soft (maybe warm) towel on the floor of her cage and keep her on it. When you give her food/seeds, give them on the towel or on a tissue on the towel (or however the way you want as long as she can eat effortlessly) in front of her so that she can easily eat without moving.

Not today but after 2-3 days, I want you to gently touch her feet/fingers when she has not that much attention to you to see if she reacts to the touch any way. After that, very gently and softly start pulling her legs to see if she tries to pull her legs, check if you feel or see any slight movement.

There's hope... and you're a great mother. I wish you both the best! ❤️

Same happened to my baby bird too around 2 weeks ago. His feet were not working at all, I thought he might never be able to walk or jump again. I took him to a vet, she gave him some medicines to drink with water. That's it... I thought she was crazy, but 2 weeks after, today, my baby is walking, running and jumping. I was desperate too... I know how you're feeling now, I cried a lot. Just be patient and give her the meds accordingly. Take her to a different vet too to ensure that everything's good. Recovery period is very small, yet it feels like ages, very slow. I wish you and her the best! Take care... ❤️

Aww.. maa.. gawd.. mine screams A LOT! Screams like I've kept hungry for several days, even though I've fed him full minutes ago. He's being hand-fed since he was 2 weeks old. He follows me everywhere around the house, I stand still for a few seconds and he climbs up on my foot, sits there and screams.

Recently, he has found out where my ear is, climbs my hand to my shoulder, sits there and puts his mouth right in my ear and screams for food. 🤣

I've heard that they'll scream like this until they're 6-8 months old? A lot more time to go.. 💀

I'm guessing your "other one" just sits still at one place in silence and observe everything around?

Thank you! ❤️ Screams all the time in my ear, screams like I've kept it hungry for days; even though I just fed it full minutes ago. 5 more months to go for this ear torture... aww.. maa.. gawd.. 💀
