Why is my bird suddenly scared, not eating, and always puffed?

That's a lot of changes at once for Dodo, and it's possible he could be a bit stressed out. Making sure Dodo has his own access to food, water, and perching spaces may help reduce stress. Birds do have periods of downtime during the day where they may nap, and they can do so as a group, so it may be you're noticing they're taking a collective nap, however after a bit they should return to normal activity. If anyone is constantly puffed, not eating or drinking, or otherwise appearing ill, removing them to a separate hospital cage, and keeping it warm and with access to food and water may help, in addition to seeking veterinary care.

Thanks for reaching out about Sky and including photos. Birds are typically fluffed when cold or ill. A veterinary visit is recommended, sooner than later. Providing heat support can give some aid but is not a cure for illness. As a new bird, moving to a new home can be stressful for a young animal, and suppressing the immune system, allowing subclinical infections to manifest. Good luck.

It could be stress or excitement from the new environment, handling or a combination. If she is bobbing her tail excessively while breathing, this can indicate potential illness. Monitor for lethargy, decreased appetite or loose droppings. Give her a few days to acclimate and if the behavior persists, have her examined by your veterinarian. Have her examined sooner if she develops any of the above symptoms.

Feather fluffing by itself doesn't really mean much, as birds will fluff to either relax or even before they groom themselves. However, if she is constantly fluffed, or very quiet and inactive, it can be a vague sign of illness. Sudden behavioral changes from the normal can also be an indicator of illness. I would keep an eye on her, and if she shows any other symptoms such as not wanting to eat or drink, weight changes, constant listless behavior, or doesn't return to her "norm", having a vet take a look is best.

Thanks for reaching out about Sprout and including photos. Being fluffed is a general sign os possible illness, nothing specific. A veterinary visit is needed to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid but is not a treatment. Monitor food and water intake. Good luck.

By your description, it does not seem to be abnormal behavior. It may simply be something he does for attention. You can monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, loose droppings or perched low with feathers fluffed. These are typical signs of illness.

That's a lot of change at once and it could be that it's stressing Blu-ray (cute name!) out a bit. I would hold off on giving any extra treats for a few days, as they may be causing digestive upset as well, and see if she improves. If the listless behavior continues, she stops eating or drinking, or she appears to get worse, then it is a good idea to seek veterinary care ASAP to rule out any more serious issues such as an underlying illness or infection.
