Why is my budgie fluffed, shaking, eyes closed, and has yellow poop?

Thanks for reaching out about Eclipse. By the picture, she appears hunched in posture, feathers fluffed and weak. These are common clinical signs of general illness. The runny stool is more likely more urine and lack of feces, due to not eating well. It is recommended you seek an visit with an avian veterinarian. Providing heat support in the mean time is often helpful. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Keasha. A veterinary visit is probably urgent. The first thing that is suggestive would be a neurologic condition. This could be a toxin ingestion (lead, zinc, plant), metabolic concern (liver, kidney), neoplasia (pineal tumors are fairly common in budgies), just to mention a few potentials. Fluffed feathers and dropped wings are suggestive of weakness or cold. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some support but is not a treatment in itself. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Salt. If lethargic, a veterinary visit is necessary, and the sooner the better. Providing heat support in the 809-85 F can help but is not a treatment. Yellow feces could be pigments from the food but also intestinal problems such as parasites, infections, increase bile (liver problem) and more. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Bambi. Dull eyes and fluffed feathers are general signs of illness and not specific for any particular disease. Providing heat support in the 85-90 F as an incubator can give some comfort, but is not a substitute for a treatment. Offering water via a small syringe can help maintain hydration. A veterinary visit is highly recommended to assess Bambi's health, to provide diagnostic and treatment recommendations and to review diet/husbandry. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Gizmo. It would be a good idea to seek the advice of a veterinarian. By the vocalizations, this could be an indication of pain. The yellowish stool most likely due to lack of food intake, but liver disease can lead to biliverdinuria (yellowish-green urates). See your veterinarian. Good luck.

With the signs of both heavy breathing and abnormal droppings, I would be concerned that Albert is sick. He may also be stressed by his new environment but that doesn’t typically cause the extent of changes as what you are describing. I would recommend having Albert evaluated by a veterinarian. Please collect some of the droppings and take them with you to the visit, if possible. The feces can be evaluated for parasites or abnormal bacterial populations. They may recommend treatments for Albert, depending on what is found. I hope that gives you a place to start, and good luck!

Thanks for reaching out about Peach. Shaking can be from many reasons. Being too cold is one, most parrots are comfortable in 80-85 degree weather. They shiver to create heat. Covering the cage will not generate any additional heat, so a heat lamp should be provided. Shaking can also result from being sick. A veterinary visit is needed to arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan. Good luck.
