Why is my bird vomiting watery liquid but acting normal, what's wrong?

Vomiting in parrots could be due to a yeast infection, bacterial infection, viral infection or ingestion of a foreign body in most cases. it is extremely important that you take Magic to an avian vet specialist to get it checked and treated as there is nothing you can do at home to help.

Hello there! Daisy is a beautiful bird. The first thing to discern is whether or not she is regurgitating or vomiting. Regurgitating is voluntary, and usually involved a bunch of head bobbing before spitting out a bit of solid food. Birds commonly do this to people they like. Vomiting looks more like head shaking, followed by liquid being flung from the mouth. If she is vomiting a white substance, this could be a medical problem that needs to be addressed by a veterinarian quickly. Infections in the crop from bacteria or fungus can cause vomiting and dehydration in birds quickly. There are also certain viruses, nutritional deficiencies, and poisons that can cause vomiting. Aside from keeping Daisy warm and calm, there isn't anything else that you can for her if she continues to vomit aside from bringing her to an avian vet. If she just vomited twice and it does not continue, you can probably keep an eye on her for repeat occurrences, but if she vomits again, please consider bringing her to the vet. Here is a vet that sees birds near you, in case you don't have one yet: Wellesley Animal Hospital 3430 Lauderdale Dr, Richmond, VA 23233 (804) 364-7030 Good luck, and I hope Daisy gets well soon!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry your bird isn't feeling well! Vomiting and nasal discharge in birds can be a sign of bacterial or fungal infections, toxin ingestion, as well as damage to the crop (the area that stores food in the esophagus). I recommend having your bird seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause, provide stabilization and treatment as necessary.

The "spitting up" may be vomiting which can be serious in birds. Vomiting can be caused by infection, obstruction, trauma, toxicity or nutritional deficiency. It differs from regurgitation (which is normal) in that a vomiting bird will rapidly flick it's head from side to side as ingesta is expelled. This can come from the crop or stomach. When a bird regurgitates, the head will bob up and down as partially digested or while food will come up. Ideally, Sydney should be examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Contact your friend for additional history which may aid in a diagnosis. Blood work, fecal exam and and examination of crop/stomach contents may be indicated after a physical exam.

Thanks for reaching out about Bulbul. Is this bird only 8 days old? Regurgitation is not normal, but could be due to over-feeding, a crop infection or impaction, sub-optimal husbandry, viral diseases, and other. Older birds are more likely to have eaten a foreign body, something toxic, metabolic diseases, and others. If continues to regurgitate, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Nanu. A veterinarian needs to be visited. Vomiting in small birds is serious as they have few caloric reserves. Ingestion of foreign bodies, toxic elements, kidney or liver disease, can all be suspect. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out. No, this is not normal. Ingested toxicities, gastrointestinal foreign bodies, crop infections, are all possibilities. A veterinary visit is recommended for diagnosis and treatment. If he has been and continues to regurgitate, he probably is not getting many nutrients. See a veterinarian tomorrow if possible. Good luck.
