Sick female cockatiel


Hi, my 2.5 year old female cockatiel laid eggs after 28 days they didn’t sit on eggs so i throw it she got sick can’t fly properly doesn’t eat anything and her eyes are closed most of the time my previous bird died after showing the same symptoms but i didn’t know it was because of egg laying so im scared she will die too


Answer:

Hi,

Unless a Vet diagnosed your first bird, it may or may not be related to laying eggs. The same goes for this bird. The symptoms you describe are that of a very sick bird, but there is no way to know the cause without having a Vet examine the bird. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do but advise you to take any bird to an Avian Vet at the first sign that something is wrong with it. The webinar below will help you understand why these symptoms can indicate many issues.

Take care,

Brenda
