My parrots are fluffing feathers & sleeping. How do I save them?

Thanks for reaching out about Winter. Fluffed feathers and sleeping a lot are general signs of illness and not specific for anything. Providing supplemental heat in the 80-85 F range can give some comfort but is not a treatment in itself. Infections, heart disease, metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), nutritional deficiencies, can all cause these symptoms. Monitor water and food intake and offer these through a syringe if needed. A veterinary visit is needed to go further. 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 Pearl. It is illegal to recommend or prescribe any medications without seeing a patient, so that is not possible. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give comfort. Removing perches and providing a soft towel on which to stand will require less energy expenditure. Maybe a dog/cat veterinary can at least provide some antibiotics or consult with another veterinarian. There is a fair chance this is not bacterial in nature, including metabolic (liver, renal), ingested toxins (plants, metals), other. 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 Chulbul. A veterinary visit is highly recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing heat support for sick animals in the 80-85 F range could help. Offering syringe feeding of a parrot hand-rearing formula could sustain them but a diagnosis needs to be achieve to effectively treat. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Eelu. It sounds as if she is sick and needs to see a veterinarian. If no avian veterinarian is available, a dog/cat vet is recommended. A bird with feathers fluffed, eyes closed and hanging by the beak seems too weak to perch or eat well. Providing supplemental heat might give some comfort but is not a treatment. Removing perches and placing a towel on the bottom of the cage will prevent falling. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Marco. The lack of eating and sleeping more is an indication of illness. Free-roaming birds will often ingest items not meant for consumption and possibly toxic. There are other infectious diseases that might be possible also, transmitted from parents or other chicks (polyoma virus, Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease). A veterinary visit should be scheduled soon, as early recognition might improve outcome. Keeping Marco in a cage when not 100% supervised is highly recommended. At the present providing additional heat support might help a little. Most avian veterinarians try to place ill birds in heated incubators at 80-85 F. Good luck.
