Hi, we have a female budgie 6yo. Tail feathers stopped growing back more than 6 months ago so can't fly but otherwise seemed happy and healthy. Now i see a big problem with her vent.

Welcome to ParrotForums.

THis appears to be a prolapse, where internal organs are protruding outside the body, her vent in this case. However, none of us here on PF are avian vets or otherwise medically qualified. Any opinions you get are worth exactly what you paid for them. Having siad that, this needs to be seen by a real Certified Avian Vet, not a dog and cat vet. Prolapse as you might guess, is a serious condition.

THe best of luck to you two.

Thanks for all the advice so far. The vet was very good. It seems that a lot of what we were looking at was an infection. She drained and cleaned it and gave us an antibiotic. What caused it might be another question but we probably have to give it a week to see how it goes.
