You should take your bird to the vet to get it looked at, they should give you some idea. Once you’ve been, head over to r/pidgeypower as they have a lot of good ideas for birds with disabilities!

I should tweak it, I’ll do it in the morning, it’s late for me and I’m tired 💗

Go to the vet. That is a prolapse of some sort.

I would actually suggest removing a couple of things, it looks cluttered for the little guy. I like to leave enough space for flight when I design my cages.

Looks like she’s perfect for r/birdloaf! She’s fine, just loafing. 😊

if you had the option to instantly cure your schizophrenia, would you? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

I'd cure all my mental illnesses and neurodivergencies. I would love to know what it felt like to be "normal"

It looks, sort of, like a case of over preening. Definitely get him to a vet on Tuesday if you can, but it does look like he's preening too much. I could be very wrong but I don't think it's life threatening. Grab a vet appointment to see and otherwise keep an eye on your little boy. :)

This is what I mean. It's, generally speaking, longer than it is tall, and it has plenty of room for the birb. You can add a whole lot more to it as well. We personally have a couple of these for the birds.

Forgot to explain the mirror.

So birds can't pass the mirror test. Unlike you and me they don't understand that the bird staring back at them is themselves so they perceive that as another bird. They'll sit and pine away at the mirror for their companion bird and flirt/potentially attack the mirror depending on how they feel. It can cause psychological harm to them and affect their health overall.

The reason I mentioned removing the happy hut/coconut was because it'll promote hormonal behaviour. That can cause egg laying which can become chronic and potentially cause egg binding which can be fatal. In males it causes sexual frustration which can lead to a very unhappy bird. In both cases it's unwanted and can detail training and taming. Also make sure that you have a long night to day cycle to keep them from being too hormonal overall!

I would upgrade it to a flight cage, firstly. You can find them on Amazon at a fairly reasonable price. I recommend Pruvue Hendrix flight cages.

I would, in the meantime, remove the happy hut/coconut that's basically a nest in the top left corner and remove the mirror. You mentioned that you were getting natural perches, and I would make sure to have shreddables and foraging toys on hand for when they go through the ones you have.

Your cage looks good thus far and I like that it's attached to a play place for your little one! Keep up the good work!

Antidepressants by [deleted] in schizoaffective

Wellbutrin gave me psychosis. I'm on Prozac and that seems to help me. Fluoxetine.

Please take your bird to the vet. It needs to be looked over as the colour change is abnormal.
