 Birds often pretend to be fine when someone is watching nearby (survival instinct)so, observe very carefully.

 Puffed-up feathers
 Birds fluff up their feathers to keep warm,and also when they relax for sleep...and also in sick. A bird who sits puffed up much of the day is likely in trouble tail bobbing wind breathing birds who sit there puffed up bobbing their tails may be sick not eating their favourite food maybe the birds fall but they need to eat often so if after a day the favorite food is untouched something's likely wrong path closed or closed eyes for much of the time alert and healthy birds usually have both eyes wide open while awake if the eyes start closing and it's not because you're scratching his head and inducing pure birdie joy the bird might be sick oh and be careful Birds often close one eye and not the other you may not notice a bird is keeping its farther eye closed sometimes.

Sleeping excessively like people birds who sleep a lot more than usual maybe in trouble bad posture when at rest healthy small parrots usually sit somewhat vertically not fully horizontally though it depends on the type bad posture from sickness is usually combined with puffed up feathers discharge wetness around the nose it may be hard to see the nose but it's usually at the top of the widest part of the bill or under the feather line watch for moisture and discharge there an occasional sneeze is okay but if it stays moist throwing up getting undigested or half-digested food stuck to the cage in weird places this can be mistaken for harmless courtship related regurgitation new owners should play it safe and check with a vet you can eventually learn to tell if it's nausea versus lovey dovey behavior but watch very carefully keep sticking to the vent feathers this is apparently a common sign of possible sickness especially if it keeps happening discolored undigested or runny poop watch for changes in the shape and color of the poop running poop can happen if you've just given your bird a bath or if it just drank lots of water but those effects only last for about an hour with small birds color changes can mean a change in diet seed diets usually produce greenish poop pellets usually produce brown butt off colors or unusual colors are a warning sign black is usually a bad sign the poop should also look well digested no lumps in it that can be identified as what they used to be if your bird eats 


Seeds there should not be whole undigested seeds in the poop ragged poorly preen feathers assign the bird isn't feeling up to caring for its feathers which is a bad sign since feathers are vital to a bird survival in the wild sneezing especially if it's frequent lack of energy if a normally playful bird doesn't play very much anymore it may well be sick sudden temperament change a normally mellow bird may get grouchy and nippy or a rambunctious bird might just get very quiet and mellow it might just be hormones or a bad feather day or it could be something else weight loss dangerous especially to small birds who don't have much in the way of bodily reserves most casual bird owners don't weigh their Birds very often so it's important to work with a vet to check a bird's weight sometimes you can tell by feeling the keel bone the bone that runs down the center of the bird's chest if it sticks out like a razor the bird is starving in a healthy bird there's so much flesh on the chest you can hardly feel the bone crooked beak or crooked toenails either it can be a sign of long-term illness and should be checked out by your vet as soon as possible in budgies crusted over nose Sara and/or feet a possible sign of mites talk to your vet about the options any sign of blood bad sign if your birdie is bleeding you need to stop it immediately call your vet if you see one or more of these or anything else odd or weird don't waste time call up your trusted avian vet ASAP finally sometimes the worst happens despite the best care and the best vets birds can and do die sometimes it's from careless breeding sometimes it's pure bad luck or an accident or maybe it's just time for the bird to pass on the best thing you can do is to get as informed and educated as possible from more than one source remember that keeping your pet happy well-loved and mentally occupied is one of the best preventive medicines ever watch next can I leave my buddy's home
