My parrot is lethargic, not eating, and can't perch. What's wrong?

These are very severe symptoms, Mitthu is very sick and needs to be taken to an avian vet specialist urgently, it could be an infection, poisoning or a foreign body ingestion, he will need to have a blood test done as well as an xray in order to try and find out what is the cause of these symptoms.

Unfortunately, not eating and being listless are very vague symptoms of illness. Anything from being overheated, to having internal parasites, GI upset, underlying illness, etc can be a potential cause. If they have not eaten anything in several days, it is best to seek veterinary care immediately as by the time birds show symptoms of illness they are usually pretty sick. Until you can get to the vet, separating them into warm hospital cages that are kept in a quiet, dark area with easy access to food and water may help, however seeking veterinary care is needed.

I'm sorry to hear Sky isn't feeling well. Unfortunately, those are very general signs of illness that can be caused by a number of things, so seeking veterinary care is best to help narrow down the cause and get her feeling better. Illness, infections, parasites, malnutrition, etc can all cause a bird to become ill and lethargic. Until you can get to the vet, you can move Sky to a separate hospital cage that is kept warm if she is kept with other birds, with easy access to food and water, and in a calm, quiet location. This may help her some until your vet can determine the issue.

Unfortunately, loss of appetite and lethargy are both very vague, general signs of illness. Issues such as infections, parasites, illness, nutritional issues, etc can all be potential causes. It would be best to keep Kiwi in a warm hospital cage with easy access to food and water to help him remain comfortable, and to schedule a vet visit in person if his symptoms continue so that the causes can be narrowed down and treated.

As birds are excellent at hiding illness and home treatment hasn't helped, it would be best to bring Mia in for care at a local vet. Changes in stool color can indicate issues such as parasites, illness, organ problems, etc and if she is very lethargic and sleepy, she likely isn't feeling well. Until you can get to your vet, keeping her calm, quiet, and eating and drinking may help. If she is housed with any other birds, moving her to a hospital cage is also a good idea to prevent the spread of any illness and keep her from being picked on.

It would be best to bring your bird to a local avian veterinarian, especially if he has been ill for a few weeks. it's possible that an underlying illness, neurologic issue, muscular disease, stroke or other problem has occurred that needs to be examined and treated as needed. In some cases birds may not recover fully, and you may need to adjust your bird's environment to help him get around a little easier, such as adding in flat platform perches or changing access to food and water.

Birds do have periods of rest throughout the day in between periods of activity that is normal behavior. However, If your bird is unmoving and seems very lethargic and this has been ongoing for several hours or the entire day/several days, it could be a sign of illness. As these symptoms are very vague, it is best to seek out veterinary care ASAP to help determine the cause and get her feeling better. Illness, infection, malnutrition, obstructions and more can all cause similar symptoms and should be checked out by a vet. Until you can get to the vet, moving her to a hospital cage that is separate from other birds, and kept warm and quiet with easy access to a balanced diet and water may help, however if symptoms continue or do not improve, seeking veterinary care is best.
