Worried New Budgie Is Sick

Featured Replies

Posted

Hello,

I am concerned about a new budgie which we have brought home.  We purchased the bird from a private breeder at Keperra / Ferny Grove a week ago and she won't answer my questions or doesn't seem to care.     

When we brought the birds home, one in particular was breathing quite heavily and also sleeping a lot during the day.   The other bird is also breathing heavy but not as much as the other one and is not sleeping as much as the other one. The birds still seems to be eating okay.   We have settled the birds in and they seem quite comfortable and I don't believe it is that they are nervous/frightened.   Droppings seems to be fine and no discharge from the nostrils or eyes.   The lady said they were about 8 weeks old.

My kids are so worried, and we don't know what to do.    ANY help is appreciated.
