Hey everyone! I am recently getting over a really bad illness. I had fevers, sweats, and now chest congestion that doesn’t seem to end. I’m taking antibiotics, but I think this may have been viral....anyways!
While I’ve been ill, my Lovebird “Kiwi” has stayed pretty much in the same room with me. I know it’s near rare for a bird to contract an illness from a human, but she has been acting differently these past few days.
1) She’s been quieter. Usually she’ll cheep so loud to want to come out and play, but instead she just sits quietly or eats. When I take her out she will play on her hanging bird swing, or chew the toys holding it.
2) I clipped her flight feathers maybe about a week ago...so maybe she’s depressed from that?
It doesn’t seem bad when I type this, but to me something just seems “off”. She has been sneezing a little bit and does seem to be more tired then usual. Any ideas or tips on what I should do?
