Budgie

Hi I have a budgie that doesn’t look well what can I do

Thanks for reaching out to Ask Lafeber. A sick‑acting budgie can decline quickly, so it’s important to act fast. If your bird is fluffed up, weak, not eating, breathing hard, or sitting at the bottom of the cage, they may need an avian vet urgently. In the meantime, keep them warm (around 85°F), quiet, and stress‑free, with easy access to food and water, and separate them from other birds. Let me know the specific symptoms you’re seeing and I can help you interpret them.
