Amazon health – Ask the Vet Nov 18


can a blue front amazon display lethargy, sleepiness for 2 days and then return to normal active behavior. can their immune system overcome an illness.this parrot is 5 years old


Answer:

Hi Frank,

Weather changes can affect some birds temporarily, and things like seasonal allergies are a possibility. Some birds might be less active if it’s raining or inclement weather preventing the sun to shine. If a bird is truly sick, they need to be seen by a Vet. If this type thing continues to happen, it’s probably time for a vet check. Sometimes something going on internally can bother a bird one day and not the next.

Thank you for your question,

Brenda
