Is there some kind of disease that Lovebirds can pass on to each other? I had 8 Lovebirds and one by one they have died...they arent even old...their diet is fruit, veg and Lovebird seed mix..they hate the fruit and veg for some reason so sometimes I give them just fruit and veg for a day or so so that they eat it, and they defintely do so I cant imagine its diet related, unless its some kind of vitamin deficiency, but I have done the whole vitamins in the water thing as well...
Basically what has been happening they have been showing weird signs of being a bit dull looking and fluffed up for a week or so then they drop dead. I can only think I have some kind of virus going round them. At the moment there are two that dont look fab...and three that look really healthy. One is just a bit fluffed up, but the other cant fly and has loads of chest feathers pulled out just showing his down. I know he is unwell because I was able to catch him...couldnt really do much of an examination though because his beak still works pefectly well!
I might have to take that one to be pts if he doesnt improve because I had one with the same signs who I had with a heat lamp...daylight lamp...oral fluids...baytril etc to no avail for 9 months until he died...so I felt rubbish, like I had prolonged his death when he could have died without going through all of that...so I would never do it again.
So yeah just wondering if anyone else has ever heard of a similar problem? Their aviary is so tall he just thudds to the floor so it sounds horrible as well. Want to sort this out or I will have none left and if I Senegal got whatever it is I would be so upset. ...Cheers guys x
