Why is my lovebird throwing up seeds frequently? Is it the bird sand?

Thanks for reaching out about Zinnia. Regurgitation can be caused by inhaled or ingested toxins (plants, paint, zinc, lead, etc.), metabolic problems (liver or kidney disease), infectious agents, gastrointestinal foreign bodies, just to name a few. A veterinary visit is recommended soon as when they are regurgitating, they are not digesting food. Good luck.

Thanks for including the picture of Kiwi. It seems like Kiwi is regurgitating. Parrots can regurgitated for multiple reasons: food sharing, stress, eating something noxious, ingestion of something toxic or due to infectious or metabolic illness (kidney, liver, etc.). With food sharing, they rarely shake their head and spray it everywhere. One of the other more common causes is eating items with lead or zinc, two soft metals, that affect the vomit center to cause the regurgitation. You'll have to investigate the environment and search for anything Kiwi might be chewing on. If you think that is the case, a visit to the veterinarian should provide a means of confirmation (radiographs) and then the treatment has a fairly good prognosis as long as it is caught fairly early. Providing heat support for an environment around 85-90 degrees will help to stimulate his immune system. But if he continues to regurgitate or become lethargic or anorectic, you need to visit your local avian veterinarian.

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.

Hi and thank you for your question. Difficult to say what the particles are, but if he is vomiting then you need to take Jewel to a vet ASAP. It could be that he has ingested toxic material (e.g. metal) or he might have an infection of the digestive system. Many other options as well. Regards

Thanks for reaching out about Ivy. Over-eating can be a cause of regurgitation, but other causes are possible. Metabolic diseases (liver, kidney), infections, ingested foreign bodies or toxins, gastrointestinal obstructions are just a few of the possibilities. If occurs again or Ivy appears ill, a veterinary visit is highly recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Piku and including photos. Vomitig can be caused by many things, of which liver disease is one. Ingestion of toxic compounds (zinc, lead, other foreign bodies), renal or liver disease, some viral disease. A veterinary visit is recommended, today, as small birds can not go long without eating as they have few energy reserves. Good luck.

I suggest you refer to this article: ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-and-regurgitation-in-birds-common-causes/ ) An all seed diet is not recommended for any bird. I would suggest a change to a pelleted diet or nutri berries: ( https://www.amazon.in/Classic-Nutri-Berries-Parakeets-12-5-Tub/dp/B0002ARFN8/ref=sr_1_19?keywords=lafeber&qid=1563361804&s=gateway&sr=8-19 ) ( https://www.amazon.in/Lafeber-Company-Parakeet-Pellets-Pounds/dp/B0002ARF3I/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=lafeber+diet&qid=1563361518&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmr0 ) ( https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/questions/switching-from-seed-to-pellets/ ) ( https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-types/?tx_bird-type=parakeet ) If your vet is not used to treating birds then you may want to try and find one that is. Vomiting/regurgitation is never normal in birds and I doubt it is from overeating.
