I am so sorry. That is awful. Keep us posted and thank you for contacting the other adopter--- that was smart of you.


Sadly, it is not that uncommon for pet stores to acquire sick birds or asymptomatic birds. Other birds in that store are also potentially at risk, but they may or may not ever show signs



If the unspeakable happens, I would strongly urge you to ask your vet about a necroscopy to determine what disease this may be. Certain viruses are very stable in the home for long periods of time and so you want to know what this is. It could impact future birds in some cases. Things like ABV, PBFD, PDD are very contagious viral issues that are not tested for by breeders 99% of the time.

Thank you, he cant provide any tests he just said he is infected with bacteria and he need injections + antibiotics and some medicines.

The other adopter had the same vet checking his baby and his bird has the same infection but good news his bird is in good shape and vomting, his bird been in the same course for 3 days so far so 3 days left.

I have a baby African gray in another cage he is ok he checked him too just in case.

and I will keep you updated. I have no comment on the store really I just feel mad at them :mad: if they told me his birds are sick I would have been bought my baby too and got him checked day 1 not keep the bird suffering 3 days without me knowing what's going on...

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Very sorry to hear your young Eclectus us unwell. Very difficult without testing to know the type of infection or whether a disease process. I assume the vet injected broad-spectrum antibiotics and prescribed orally for the next 5 days. Please let us know if you have difficulty giving the meds as there are creative ways to overcome. Wishing the very best outcome, please keep us updated.

Having hard time yes because he is hard to hand feed comparing to my gray and he refuses more now to eat.

I am so sorry, my deepest condolences for the loss of your baby Eclectus.

You had the very best of intentions, sadly unethical breeders and sellers continue pushing unweaned babies into impossible situations.

I am so very sorry. You did the best you could-- you were put in the midst of an unfair situation by the shop. So unfair that you had to go through this.
