My cockatiel is acting strange. I don’t know Whether she’s pregnant or not. She has been supper quiet ,she sleeps all the time and lies at the bottom of her cage. She struggles to walk properly and leans on things to keep her balance
She eats and drinks but she poops big
Hi,
Your bird is sick and needs to be seen by an avian vet as soon as possible. Birds do not get pregnant – they lay eggs. For a cockatiel, each egg takes 48 hours to form and then laid. She may have an egg stuck inside her, which will be fatal without treatment, or she has some other internal issue. The longer this goes on without treatment, the less likely she will be able to survive. Unfortunately it sounds like she is very sick now. Tell the vet that this is an emergency and she can’t wait for an appointment.
Take care,
Brenda
