Insect Direct Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 My sisters got a budgie, apparently its not singing like it normally does. Has lost some feathers around its backside and is passing loose motions if you get what i mean. Any advice would be appreciated.

livingart Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 is this a pet bird in a cage? loss of feathers, is the backside swollen? male or female possible problems, a stuck egg, stomach bug they can catch them off us tumour, worms not common in indoor bird but can come in on plants from outside strained too hard through constipation best idea is a vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 in healthy bubgies the cere (flesh part around the nostrils) is blue in males and brown in females a change os seed may have an effect depending on the quality and cleanliness of the seed bacterial infection in the gut is usuall smelly poos and bubbles in droppings can be worms tell her to leave droppings in cage so vet can see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
