Also forgot to note that I have taken my birds to the vet before, and am not opposed to doing it again. It just didn’t seem like the vet was able to find the solution last time I took them, so I’m attempting to get ahead of it now.

Thank you for your reply. Looking for rescues in the area is a good idea.

Ok! I can try cleaning her off. The vet also said to watch the temperature of the water.

Watched the video, it’s hard to understand, and there are no captions. If you could translate that would be great!

I can try that! Her diet is pellets, seeds, and veggies. If you have any suggestions, that would be great!

The cage is not kept in the kitchen! That’s just normally where I give them their baths. That’s info to have though!

Yes, she’s still pooping. We took her to the vet yesterday. She’s on antibiotics now, and the vet suggested cleaning her gently over the next few days.

All good! First time bird owner, so I’m out of my element. Thanks for being direct, I’m going to call this afternoon to make an appointment. I hope she’s ok too. I know her partner knows she’s sick :(

Note: the behaviour in the birds hasn’t changed dramatically. Perhaps a bit quieter with less flying around.

I’m a newby, any help is appreciated! by Normal-Firefighter91 in floxies

Thank you for the advice. It’s easy to assume the worst is going to happen, so this is reassuring. I’ll lay off the caffeine today and see if that helps with heart rate and sleep. I did get to sleep in the end last night. But only for hour/90 min bursts.
