Why is my budgie shaking but not cold? What could be wrong with her?

Sky might be feeling a bit cold or nervous from the change to a new home. Making sure his cage is kept in an area that is free of drafts and not too warm or cold can help, as well as making sure it's not in an area that is super busy or noisy. Give him a few days to settle down in his new home- you can observe and offer him some treats in the cage itself, but waiting a bit to handle him until he's had a change to settle in may help.

It's hard to see anything wrong from just photos however if you do have a video you can add in a YouTube link to your question for us to see. If Joy is holding the wing out funny, doesn't want to use it, or seems painful when doing so, it could indicate something such as an injury which should be checked out. Sometimes stress or activity can also increase breathing which may look like the wings shaking as birds expand and contract their entire chest-cavity to breathe. If she is otherwise normal and healthy and the wing is being used/isn't bothersome to her, I wouldn't be worried, but if she seems to have any problems breathing, the wing seems injured or painful, she seems listless, doesn't want to eat or drink, or shows any other signs of illness, having it looked at in person is always best.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do from home without veterinary care if she is already showing signs of illness. However there are some things that may help make her more comfortable to hopefully make it until your vet appointment. Keeping her in a small hospital cage that is kept warm can help with body temperature regulation. Perches should be low to the ground or removed completely, and soft bedding placed at the bottom of the cage in case she falls. Having food and water (if she is still eating on her own) in shallow dishes she can get in and out of even if weak is best. If she's not eating or drinking, you may need to make a slurry of baby bird food and water and drop feed it to her to help keep her energy up. Otherwise, monitoring her and any changes in her symptoms can help when your vet is able to see her.

Thanks for reaching out about George. Fluffed feathers and closed eyes are general signs of illness. A yellow droppings must be differentiated from yellow diarrhea and yellow urine/urates, as these are due to different affected organs and therefore different treatments. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F can give some support. A veterinary visit is recommended, as soon as possible. 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.

Nutritional deficiency, liver or kidney disease, intestinal parasites or bacterial, viral or fungal infection are all possibilities. An exam with your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian is strongly recommended to diagnose the exact illness or injury. The vet can administer supportive care if indicated. Offer a commercial pelleted diet moistened with warm water or a hand feeding formula to stimulate his appetite and get some nutrition into him. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the veterinarian.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like Summer could be sick. It is unfortunately not possible to know the extent of this just based on a description and an examination would be quite helpful here to determine this better. I would recommend you have her evaluated by a veterinarian who can perform an examination and gather more information to start determining what may be wrong with her so that therapy can be started to help her. Best of luck!
