My bird is sick: why is he slow, weak, mouth open, and tail low?

Thanks for reaching out. This birds should be isolated from others and placed in a warm incubator like environment (80-85 F). A veterinary visit is recommended as soon as possible as it appears very ill. Remove perches and allow to sit on a soft towel. Ensure food and water are within reach. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Koko. Its sounds as if he is very sick. A veterinary visit is recommended, even if a dog/cat veterinarian willing to help. There are no medications that can be prescribed over the internet. But providing heat support in the 80-85 degrees range, 24/7 might allow him to conserve some energy that he would normally use to heat himself. Remove perches and allow to stand on a flat soft surface (towel or blanket). Ensure that food and water are within easy reach. Using a small syringe without a needle, to offer water is very important. Go slow as to not allow aspiration into the lungs. Most pet stores sell baby bird hand rearing formulas, in an attempt to give calories. Still, a veterinary visit is best. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Sunshine and including photos. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid but a veterinary visit is highly recommended, as soon as possible, to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Remove perches and place a soft towel on the bottom of the cage for comfort. Ensure that food and water are within reach. Veterinary care sooner than later, could improve prognosis. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Tweety. Providing heat support can give some aid but is not a treatment in itself. A veterinary visit is highly recommended, as Tweety appears to be ill. Check and correct diet, as an all seed diet is not sufficient for proper health. Vitamins, mineral and proteins are also needed. A vet visit should be scheduled for today, as we are entering the weekend and small birds do not have much energy reserves. Good luck

Thanks for reaching out about Nino. If he/she is tired and weak, it might be not getting enough food, but could also be ill. A veterinary visit is recommended. Are you providing supplemental heat, in the 80-85 F range? Do you have a feeling Nino is loosing weight? Try the above mentioned, but see your veterinarian. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Furball. If she is that sick , she needs to visit a veterinarian, ASAP. Small birds have few energy reserves and once start showing illness, illness is significant. Heat support, assisted fluids and food are important, but are not a cure. If there a chance of metal ingestion such as zinc or lead? These considerations are identical to those mention with heavy metal toxiciity. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Chui. Sounds as if she is ill and needs to see a veterinarian. Wing drooped are an indication that she is weak enough not to spend energy holding her wings up. Schedule a visit for tomorrow, or an emergency visit this evening, if necessary. In the short term providing heat support in the 80-85 F range could give some support. Good luck.
