too adorable

I agree, please let us know what happens.

I believe it was the temperature change too, I hope he is feeling better today. Keeping him consistently warm right now and making sure he is eating and drinking should help him recover.

keep him warm, make sure he continues to eat and drink, and watch his poos, sometimes it takes a week or so to get back to normal.

I agree with Liv you can also let them be together during the day and then separate at night. There is an article on how to Intro a 2nd Bird in the FAQ's if you would like to review that.

I agree with both Maise and Liv, if he has excess urine it sounds like a kidney problem but we are not avian vets and can't diagnose, you could try to PM birdluv she is in Canada but I know it is a large province but she may have a suggestion.

Glad you stopped by and said HI .

Hi there so great to see you back, you really need to submit a photo for the contest this month they are all so good.

OMG the are so cute, you should enter the first photo you posted into the Oct picture contest

Very pretty, nice picture you should enter a picture of her into our contest before the month is over.

What I find has stressed Merlin is a chilly day and a bad molt all the same time or a change in food. See if anything was different, the weather, a molt, food change and a warm lamp and making sure they are eating is the best thing you can do for them during this time.

Huge hugs to you and your family Karen.

Nice to have you back Cory

You didn't mention that you quarantined your 2nd bird from your existing bird, yes?

What were the parents? I am assuming 2 greesns since you are surprised, a blue chick comes from 2 green chicks that are both carrying the blue geen but the green gene is masking the blue. Also hens do tend to be opaline but you can have a male opaline too.

Welcome to the forum :hooray:

I agree with Kaz there is no dominant pied marking that I see.

It is not necessary fatal sometimes it is just a stressed bird could be a move into a new home, molting, a new cagemate etc...but we can't be sure.

She is very cute, make sure you enter on of your photos for our monthly photo contest Welcome to the forums.

Please keep us updated

Can she come to the forum and post her questions along with pictures of the wet dropping? We are not avian vets or vets here and we will tell you that is the best thing to do. The only way you will know how much it will cost is to call the avian vet (vet) and talk to them about your situation. No one should ever assume they can't unless they have the facts and ask.

I would say the physical attacks probably stressed him out which probably made him ill.

I responded to your other post about both issues above and moved it for you to the correct section.
