It can be difficult for an uninformed person to recognize when his or her pet bird is ill. This is because they are animals of prey and cannot afford to show weakness. Your pet bird could get sick and gradually get worse without your knowledge. Learning to look for certain symptoms will help ensure that your pet bird gets proper treatment when sick.
Take your bird to the vet as soon as possible if it shows any of the following:
• Loss of feathers around eyes
• Minor changes in talking, biting or eating habits
• Shows changes in color, consistency or odor from droppings.
