Help! My baby cockatiel is sick and losing feathers. What to do?

I am sorry to hear Coco is losing feathers. If you are seeing strange discharge from the area, or he is acting ill, and no feathers are regrowing, it is possible he may have an issue such as a nutritional problem, parasites, infection of the skin, etc. You can try to treat parasites with a mite spray and make sure he is on a balanced diet, as well as gently clean away any debris from the affected area, but if he is also acting ill you need to try and find a vet in your area that can look at him and treat any underlying issues. If you are having trouble coping with Coco's illness I also highly recommend seeking out a therapist or other support group in your area that can help you while you seek veterinary care for Coco.

Thanks for reaching out about your cockatiel. Fragile feathers could be an indication of a poor diet but also some other more serious diseases. If he is that weak, a veterinarian should be visited. Providing heat support in the 85-90 degrees could help stimulate the immune system but does not replace a veterinary visit. Good luck.

Ideally, Pedro should be physically examined by a veterinarian. If an avian vet is not available, see the local veterinarian. He or she can contact an avian specialist by phone or online. Place him in his own cage or remove the chicken chicks. It isn't recommended to keep these two species caged together. Offer a mash made with warm water and a handfeeding formula to get him eating. Unflavored PediaLyte can be given via dropper if he will accept it. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.

thanks for reaching out about Baby. Yes, you should take her to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Try warming her up but still see the veterinarian. Hypothermia, metabolic disease, toxicities or an infection are all possible. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Frenchie. It is impossible to tell how serious this is, and a veterinary visit is recommended to assess Frenchie's health and to provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Most avian veterinarians will provide heat support in the 80-85 F range, to give comfort. Good luck.

If Charlie is not eating or drinking, has pus or discharge coming from his face or nose, and is shivering and listless, he is likely pretty ill. It is best to seek veterinary care ASAP so that the underlying cause can be found and treated. Illness, infections, injuries, etc can all be possible causes. Until you can get to your vet, it is best to move him to a hospital cage if housed with other birds (to prevent being picked on or spreading illness) and that is kept warm and with easy access to food and water.

Pretty boy is very sick, but i couldn't tell you what is wrong based on these very general symptoms, you will need to take him to an avian vet urgently where a blood test and faecal exam will be done to determine what is the cause of the disease, then it will be possible to treat him accordingly.
