August 16, 200619 yr The answer is that *anything* could be wrong. Your birds need an avian vet right away. Keep them in a warm, quiet room in the meantime but don't wait before making the appointment. If you need help locating an avian vet please let us know.
August 16, 200619 yr Author well i went to my vets office and they said these are the symtoms of moulting is it true
August 16, 200619 yr Laying flat is not a symptom of molting. When birds molt they may be a little more irritable when the pin feathers start appearing. Some aren't. When my birds molt I really don't notice any different behavior, other than occasional grumpiness towards each other when eating or playing with favorite toys.
August 16, 200619 yr Definitely go to another vet, you need an avian one. And preferably, one that sees birds on a regular basis. Make sure they at least do some fecal test. I hope you find some real answers!
August 16, 200619 yr Author yeah i was 100% sure that that was not true but my female has been doin good i gave it some drops in the water for it and gave it soem fruits asnd tomarrow first thing ill go to the other vet
August 17, 200619 yr Please let us know what you find out, and what tests were run. That way if anyone else has this problem at least they will have a starting point for conversation with their avian vet. I do hope it is something easily treated.
