Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be? Link to comment

They need immediate treatment! Take a sick bird to an avian vet or experienced local breeder and get them to do a poo smear test for mega and a crop smear for canker, then treat accordingly. this is very very urgent if she wants some to live. ps take away the worm treatment, their sick bodies dont need posion running though them too right now. Never give a sick bird worming meds Edited February 19, 2009 by **Liv** Link to comment

Action needed is fast...worming is a wrong move.If vet diagnosis isnt obtained immediately most of these birds will surely die. Link to comment
