Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place. And this is going to be kind of hard to explain, but we've had my budge Eddie(we named her before I knew she was a girl ) for about 3-4 years now, and latley she has been acting strange, not singing or making noises at all. Just sticking her neck out like she is trying to sing, do you know what I mean? She will stick her neck out and open her mouth like she is talking, but nothing is comming out. The lady at the pet store said to get a friend for her, so we did and they don't seem to like each other at all. And Eddie still isnt making any noises. This is upsetting me, do you know what could be wrong? Thanks so much for reading.

You need to take Eddie to an avian vet as soon as possible. When you go, let the vet know that another bird has been in contact with her, so any treatment can be done for both of them

How long has this been going on. If it has been a day or two your bird may have Aspergillosis.

 

Symptoms: difficulty breathing, anorexia, emaciation, diarrhea, uncoordinated muscle movement, frequent neck stretching

 

Description: This disease is a fungus that infects the respiratory tract of birds and on occasion the peritoneum and abdominal organs. Most suceptible are debilitated, weak and overcrowded birds. Symptoms of the disease are initially confined to the respiratory system with the bird displaying gasping, labored and rapid breathing. As the disease progresses diarrhea, ataxia (inability to coordinate voluntary muscle movement) and other symptoms develop. Typically fatal to the young bird in a couple of days. In the adult bird, the disease can progress for weeks.

 

Treatment: Aspergillosis may be treated with fungicides (amphotericin B or possibly miconazale) in combination with amphenicol to kill secondary bacterial infection and nystatin to combat secondary fungal infection. In addition, if the bird is exhibiting diarrhea and vomiting, it should be given 5% dextrose, four doses daily at the rate of 4% body weight to maintain hydration.

 

It may not be this but as Lin said

Thanks for the replys. This has been going on for maybe a week or two. Other then the neck thing she is normal, she is eating fine and moving around the cage like she use too. I will take her to the vet as soon as possible though, thanks for the help.

Let everyone know what the vet says.
