    Squished Toe

    Hello, My parrot Maggy was sitting on the bathroom door when i pushed it closed. I don't remember how hard I pushed it but it bounced back open and she flew away in pain. I have soaked it briefly in warm salt water once or twice a day over the last 3 days since it happened. Should I take her to...

    After vet mistrust

    I took Lumi to the vet. Getting her in brand new carrier was not fun and she tried very hard not to go in. She rode in it all the way to vet 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. When we got to vet and waited in room I took her out and she got on my shoulder. She drank water and ate some food...

    Parakeet vent blocked?

    I?ve noticed a few days ago that one of my parakeets?s vent is blocked by parakeet poop possibly. I would?ve take him to the vet at first opportunity, but since I?m a minor and my mom didn?t want to take him I couldn?t really do anything except hope it becomes better. However, it seems as if...

    Parakeet swollen foot

    Hey, I’m new to this forum! Yesterday my parakeet, Snowy who is 3 years old, flew into a window because she was panicking. I noticed when I was feeding her she was holding one leg awkwardly and the leg was limp. It wasn’t bleeding and didn’t look different but she was holding it weirdly. I...

    Amazing experience! Update for Butter!

    Butter was finally taken the vet today! :gcc: And I was able to convince Dad to let him get a checkup. Fortunately, nothing too bad ended up being the case! :D His molt is just really irritating for him so I’m going to have to give him a prescribed medicine twice a day. Thank you all so much for...

    Lily Update

    Alright guys. Thought I’d keep everyone informed on what’s been going on with my little spunky green plucking monster. I just had a vet visit with her (we determined plucking is behavioral, since she has gotten better with it in my care). Well I now have to take her back to the vet this...

    Is showing his vent bad?

    We have a blue fronted Amazon named Skipper. :green: He is around 28ish. We have had him 1 year. He is fairly aggressive to most people, including myself but loves my husband. We are working on it, but its a process. Yesterday my husband mentioned 'Skipper' was making cooing sounds and...

    Bingo to the vet

    I took Bingo out of his cage this morning for his usual socializing time. I noticed he had a discharge coming from one nostril (nare) and I thought I heard some unusual breathing noise (bubbling like noise). Took him strait to the vet. Blood test, throat swab, and trimmed his nails cuz he...

    Is Something Stuck?: Conure is Vigorously Bobbing Head Up In Down

    Hello, My conure has been doing a weird fast, paced head bob. She'll stick her head up and vigorously jolt it up and down, almost like she's trying to dislodge something stuck in her crop. She'll also do the same motion on the corner of perches sometimes. This looks like she's trying to...

    First Vet Visit

    Good evening, birdie friends :) Getting paid this Friday means money to take my new parrot to his first vet visit in early May. (Don't have exact date scheduled yet.) I've done a bit of reading that the first vet visit will typically be the most costly with the blood work that should get...

    They hurt her

    Jimmy was in to the vet at the beginning of this week for a blood draw, not my usual vet but someone I believed was good and works with birds at a well respected clinic. I wasn't allowed to be with her, but I could hear her screaming (not exactly abnormal) and then gurgling as she screamed...
