LIke, have you ever watched movies were people die with their eyes open, guess not, but it happens.
i think Kaz is on the right track too, I have chicks that I have taken away from parents at 6 1/2 weeks and go all fluffed up , so I put them back with the parents and they call for food, i had one that was still fed until 8 weeks and one at the moment who is 7weeks, refuse to eat on her own.Any chance of pics? If a budgie that usually perches with one leg when it sleeps suddenly starts using both the legs while sleeping, it needs to be observed closely to look for other signs of trouble.A budgie that seems to be trembling, shivering, or having shaking fits is probably severely ill. Did you get him euthenized or was he at home, cause I can't lie to you, he might've felt pain. I can clearly now see a bulge in his crop.Went to see the seller today and he gave me two free birds to compensate for the loss. It doesn´t always have to be bad though. But i didnt pay much attention as their eyes are open and they look alert, so i though they are just hiding because they are scared.Got up this morning and one of them was dead on the floor.
Background: On 01/10/11 afternoon, i bought two bush budgies (descendent of wild budgies colony bred in a very large aviary) south of river in Perth.
nearby (survival instinct), so observe very carefully. He was just over 12 months old and seemingly healthy - very active, eating well, playing chattering etc. They include:After hearing a thorough history of your bird, and all symptoms presented, your veterinarian will conduct a careful examination of your bird’s eye and respiratory system to determine the cause of the conjunctivitis. He is active and eats well but he definitely is irritated with his eye. The broad range of possible causes can make a diagnosis difficult. These topical antibiotics can relieve symptoms, but the infection can recur. I have attached his photo as my avatar.
Blood samples are collected and tested.
If you see signs of weakness such as listlessness, diminished movement, etc., it could be a sign of severe sickness.Look for changes in the budgie’s food habits.
preventative medicines ever! - Answered by a verified Bird Specialist ... Budgie. I hope this cleared your confusion please in the future buy your parrotlet fully weaned and tamed before hand unless you … Cysts have to be surgically removed, so a trip to the vet is a must.Budgies regurgitate food as a mating ritual or to show affection.
Whiteys eye has worsened, so clearly the treatment is off. does not keep it awake at night? One of my budgie died suddenly this morning and i just like to get some help as to possible reasons.On 01/10/11 afternoon, i bought two bush budgies (descendent of wild budgies colony bred in a very large aviary) south of river in Perth.
Were the grass seeds fresh like wild or store bought?Wild ones could have been sprayed with weed killer?im with kaz ..sorry taylor but you dont even know whats up with your birds so i think guessing some advice when you would be wrong in this instance is not good idea i think if someone asks about a ill bird or possible causes unless u your self have experience and first hand knowledge on the subject, im sorry but im sick of this fourum ,s younger members whom are asking basic knowledge questions them-self reply to people whom have no clue an inexperienced 12 year old is advising them (mabe your older that was just an example ) you should just not suggest any probable cause its clear here that the birds were two young their for most likely not weaned and hadn't eaten bar the seedling grass which wouldn't of helped as on a empty belly dehydration wouldn't of helped if they had not drunk along with being placed in a new environment outside straight away most likely causing them to be frightened (huddling in corner to keep warm and safe )if i were you i would take the both birds back and ask for a new two birds but that are older im talking specifiably you want 8 week old birds at least sorry about your lose but id say starvation and fear were the main to causes of death not an underlining illness unless you see a chick flying strongly not just little cute flights from a to b then id pass it for one whom is zooming around as clearly they are a bit older and seed cracking by themselves i removed two chicks yesterday looked great cracking seed and so on however they weren't really eating it just playing they are back with mum n dad today weaker fluffed up but in hour were full again and fine as kaz said you must lightly feel crops if they are actually eating seed you will feel it in their crop quiet easy and not mistakenly cold could of played a part nights rather chillyim with kaz ..sorry taylor but you dont even know whats up with your birds so i think

been helped out and know what to do with this info.Gb sorry if I sound b****y I wasn't intending that.you dont and i wasnt trying to insult your breeding i was just saying you yourself as you say are just learning so untill you have learnt guessing can actually be harmful people decide whom they want to listen to and follow the infomation of and if you give wrong info you could cause death of their pet and unless you know for sure or are positive it could be this and the reasons why you believe so best not to say anything as it just gets confussing to people that is why sometimes only one person will post an answer because that one persons info was corect so no need to add to it other times so many people comment the true awnser gets lost in it all other times opinions differ but its useually the cure or the problem solver or like example nest box material no ones wrong its just what works best for the individual so experiances are shared i was not suggesting your breeding was not good i was stating suggesting it had an underlining illness is simply a stab in the dark was bno even reason why you came to that conclusion no a fence taken from me and hopefully from you toward me im just saying its hard to help when others just state ideas with no even posable reason why it just plants a un needed seed of doubtUpshot of all of this is...............if the breeder had a massive colony of birds he may not have known that these babies who had just fledged werent eating on their own yet.
The two new birds still have black in their beak, but they should be fine as i am keeping them indoor for now.Black beaks is a sign of under 6 wks........so they too are very young.
Parasites can be removed manually, and antiparasitic drugs may be prescribed.
I will keep him indoor with the heat mat on for the next few days to be sure. I must clarify I live in Honduras and I'm currently without a vet in the area, no access to cultures and limited meds because of the current political crisis in my country.
