My cockertiel is of 4 months. He is losing his feathers around his eyes.


My cockertiel is of 4 months. He is losing his feathers around his eyes. He was not active for past 1 week. He used to sit dull with fluffy feathers. And was not eating much.


Answer:

Hi Nikhil,

It sounds like your cockatiel is very sick. You need to take him to an Avian Vet immediately. Birds will try to hide signs of illness, so once they show that they are sick, they are often gravely ill. He has been showing symptoms for a week, so he needs Vet care right away or he probably will not survive for much longer.

Take care,

Brenda
