My bird acting weird


Today, my pet bird (Eurasian collared dove), acting weird. She is struggling to fly ( sometimes she can fly other times she fails). Also she isn’t at has stop vocalising. Lastly, she isn’t at all energetic ( doesn’t vocalise, doesn’t comes near me, doesn’t sit on my head).


Answer:

Hi Stephanie,

It sounds like she is sick and needs to be taken to an Avian Vet. Sudden changes like this are not a good sign. Birds will try to hide signs of illness, so once they start acting sick or differently, they are very sick. I would take her to a vet as soon as possible.

Take care,

Brenda
