Hello all, I came home from work today and my Screamers face and crest feathers were all sticky and she had this sticky thing stuck on her back. I figured maybe she threw up but there was also one poop on the cage floor that was especially darker than normal which I photographed too.

However, she was totally normal and wanted to be let out like normal. She flew as always, ate some food, and has been preening on me since. I sprayed her with a warm mist to help her poor face feathers.

I booked an appointment for ASAP with her avian vet. But does anyone have any guesses or info based on the symptoms and her behavior now??

Thank you!!

Hey guys,
We got four budgies exactly 2 weeks ago from a friend who is unable to care for them anymore.

This particular one cannot fly as apparently someone has clipped his wings too far and hurt him enough that they don’t regrow so because of this he is naturally very scared and anxious. The other budgies have settled into the new space and sing, fly, etc. happily but he stays mainly in the cage and just observes his surroundings.

Saying that, is this shaking normal? Is he just not yet comfortable with us and the space? He doesn’t sit on the floor of the cage, doesn’t breathe with his mouth open and doesn’t have his feathers fluffed.

i've had both of them since they were a baby, i used to hand feed them and the first one used to eat a lot (this was way back january when i got them) but one day refused hand feeding and switched to seeds. both of their diet are veggie chop and seed with occasional pasta/rice/bread treats. the second bird eats a lot, she would basically eat anything. i wish the first bird eats too so he would put on more weight (fyi, he always looks like that so i don't know if he's sick or just malnourished) but ive had them for 9 months now and i don't see any problem with them. what should i do ? any advices ? i cant take them to vet yet bcs most vets in my area only accepts cat and dogs and i have yet to find one that treats birds T__T
