Posted June 15, 201015 yr I have a sick budgie, he shares a cage with another male budgie. Today the feathers around his eye looke mauled and like they have been pulled out. He was popping his head up and down repeatedly like he is trying to bring something up this lasts for a few seconds to a minute and then he returns to normal. He is puffed up and he was easier to catch than normal. The area around the eye appears to be tender, they eye looks normal.
June 15, 201015 yr The eyes situation could be the result of vomiting which usually ends up in that area making the feathering look weird. Vomiting is a sign of illness and not to be confused with regurgitation which is very different. Can you post a picture and is there any other symptoms as well ?
June 15, 201015 yr Take him to the vet. Remove him from the cage and set up a hospital cage with a source of heat. Ring your vet to find out if they do birds. Please post a picture so we can judge more efficiently.
June 15, 201015 yr Agreed ^^ Phone a Vet and see if they can help the poor little thing. Hope he gets better!
