Thankfully, all my lovely birds are happy and healthy but someone I know is getting very upset about the fact that her bird is having very wet droppings to the point where she feels she needs to rehome the bird with someone who can afford hefty vet bills as she is no longer in a position to do so. Please see http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/10420472 and you can't help but feel the anguish she is suffering. She is a lovely person who cares very deeply about her birds and would do whatever she thought was the best thing for them. If I could put her mind at ease in any way I would love to be able to do so. You all know so much about our feathered friends and sometimes the benefit of experience can speak volumes. I think she is expecting the worst outcome for her bird if she keeps him but maybe it doesn't have to be that way. I would be happy to pass along any comments any of you may hae for her.

 

Thanks so much....guess we really do flock together, huh??

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.

Excellent idea Elly...I'll write to her and see if she'll post here.

 

I was hoping some of you very experienced folks could offer some reasons for wet droppings that wouldn't necessarily be fatal so she might not feel so sad and bleak about the bird's prospects.

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.

Thanks Elly...she's removed her post where she was looking for a new home so perhaps she's resolved her situation.
