Baby cockatiel poo looks weird

[DonnaBudgie]

By the way i just fed him, his back to normal now, sorry for making a scene

That's okay. I'm just glad he's okay. Please take him to a vet anyway. He needs a checkup.

Maybe riding around in a car was a bit stressful for him. Personally I think it's very important to get your bird accustomed to new people, things, and situations when they are young like this to prevent them from growing up fearful of harmless things. I'm that respect I think it's good to take him with you when you go out as long as he is safe.. in a couple weeks he will be flyiñg and escaping is a huge risk that you need to prevent. I recommend trimming his flight feathers slightly to prevent this. Cockatiel are very strong flyers.

I totally understand the controversy about wing trimming. I just want to say that the way I trim wings is very conservative. I just shorten the longest primary flight feathers about one inch (in my budgie) so she can fly normally for about 20 feet then drift to the floor. I have lost several budgies to the great outdoors and it's 2always so tragic. The wing clips done at pet stores and some vets is so severe the poor bird cannot fly at all!
EglsJust imagine how awful it would geefgft,bfñgy

How AWFUL it would be if Cico flew away and got lost, which is what usually happens to all but the best flight trained birds! Personally, I would be devastated, and I haven't even met you or Cico. Just thinking about your baby (Cico will always be your baby) out there lost and starving makes me cry. 😭

Hello he was brought to the vet a couple hours ago, the doctor did not checked him properly, he just let cico perch on his finger and he just TOUCH cico belly for like 2 seconds and say “he is fine”, his poop look like tar and the doctor said its fine and its normal, i am no doctor but i don’t think you treat bird by just touching the belly for like 2 second and the bird is cured, also the doctor just like kinda play with cico saying “such a cutie” and did not even do anything medical, he just gave me new syringes to try to feed cico and did not reccomend me to use spoon at all. Cico is doing fine right now but i just want to say the doctor is not that proper. Dw about cico he is happy now (i think)!

That was obviously not a medical exam. And the word "cure" should be banished from the language when it comes to illnesses in humans and in animals. "Cure" sounds like something instantaneous and magical and there's no such thing. There are examinations and treatments, not cures, and merely touching a baby bird's belly isn't a real examination. I'm sorry you got to see such a BAD vet but at least they didn't do any harm. I know you are trying so hard with Cico. When you get home you should try to find a vet you can trust. Try asking the breeder what vet they recommend. Maybe the breeder can help you when you have problems with Cico, though I'm not thrilled with a breeder who would sell an unweaned baby to someone with no experience hand feeding. I realize them only way to get experience is to do it and I hope you have learned a lot over the past couple weeks. It's not that difficult to do but things can go wrong. As long as you are preparing his food fresh, feeding at the right temperature, and being very careful if you use a syringe, and Cico is eating, chirping, pooping, playing, and acting normal he's probably okay. It will only be a couple more weeks before Cico is eating on his own and most of this stress will be over. Post some more recent pictures. I'd love to see how your baby is doing and I'd like to see the tarry looking poops.

Sorry i forgot to take the picture of the poop before throwing but here is his recent poop and also some cute moments, the tar like poop look exact look like this but like mushier and blacker, cico look normal now i think… he usually just like to spend his time relaxing and some time like to just walk around and chirp.

btw i actually am not sure if he is sick or not because, he is quite sleepy, his poop look a little different,and maybe his appetite decreased, the only real proper avian vet i found is like 4-6 hours from my house and obviously my parents wont drive me there.

Cico looks healthy to me. He's grown a lot.

I'm so sorry he's not feeling well. I don't know what more to do or say to help. Can't you call the breeder you got him from? He's so adorable. I hate to see you lose him. Keep him as warm as possible without overheating and make sure he takes water or very dilute formula so he doesn't get dehydrated. He's big enough to go without eating much for a couple days. In fact, as they finishing growing bigger and have most of their feathers they will eat less.

Oh i am so sorry because i forgot to say after he was very weak he then passed away like 30 minutes after that, i even tried giving it cpr and keep him warm by blowing heat to his body,

OMG! I can't believe it. Tried so hard. PLEASE DON'T BUY UNWEANED BABY BIRDS.
This is so heartbreaking. I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK.

After thinking about Cico's death and reading our communications, I believe what happened to Cico is that she aspirated food when you accidentally slipped with the syringe and shot too much in her mouth about a week ago. Aspiration causes infection in the lungs and air sacs and can take days to be fatal. Cico hadn't been doing well since that incident and you were unable to get prompt care from a qualified avian vet. I can't think of any other reason for Cico's decline and death. It is unethical and cruel to sell UNWEANED baby birds to the public. Period.
