PS: sorry for sounding a bit desperrate bye bye
December 2, 200816 yr When poop is like that it does indicate a bird is sick. I suggest making an appointment with your avian vet and have a poop smear along with an examination. Sticky poop can be a number of things and since we are not vets and can't see the bird we can't diagnosis. Here are some signs to look out for in the meantime: What color is the poop? This is very important because it can indicate if a bird has not eaten or drank. Can you feel his keel bone? If it is prominant that shows he has lost weight His eating/drinking habits? What are they like? Some suggestions is to keep in warm room (75 F at least), keep him quiet, change the newspaper often so you can observe the poops, encourage him to eat millet if he is eating nothing else. Most of call call the avian vet.
December 2, 200816 yr Sorry I'm not help, just wanted to wish you good luck. Oh and speaking of pee I nearly wet myself laughing at your siggy :yes:
December 4, 200816 yr Are you able to get some Murphy minerals ... It is in a small container from most bird suppliers ... Poop sticking to bum is not a good sign ...
December 4, 200816 yr Author thanks the poop is dark green and white;and dries quickly, I can feel the breast bone, and Jellybean's still eating a little less than normal. I will ask mum to phone the vet as soon as possible. Is there anything I can do to help jellybean in the mean time? I worried about him...... :rofl:
December 4, 200816 yr keeping her warm above 75F in a room, keeping her quiet, making sure she is still eating and drinking and the avian vet appointment scheduled today.
