Why is my parrot lethargic with yellow poop and not getting better?

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.

Submit a sample of Lola's droppings to your veterinarian. This may diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Since she is showing other symptoms, an exam with your veterinarian would be strongly recommended. Birds are very good at hiding illness until it is quite serious. Blood work can assess liver and kidney function after a physical exam. Supportive care may also be indicated. This may include subcutaneous fluids, antibiotics and a special diet.

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, those are all very vague symptoms of illness that can be caused by any number of things including infections, diseases, parasites, malnutrition, etc. It would be best to bring Mitthu to your local vet for a complete exam to try and find out what is wrong. They may suggest additional tests such as bloodwork or an X-ray to help find the problem. In the meantime, keeping him in a warm hospital cage that is separated from any other birds and with easy access to food and water in shallow dishes with low perches may help some until he can be seen by a vet.

If Sky's behavior has changed recently, and you are are also noticing a change in stool consistency without a change in diet or environment, then having him examined by your vet is a good idea. Some environmental changes, such as extreme heat may cause a bird to be more lethargic until it cools down, however they should still otherwise be eating, drinking and moving about some. Diet changes can also change the color or consistency of stool if there are colored pellets or different seeds introduced. It may be that he is still mourning the loss of his friend, and so is less active, however being completely uninterested in activities, having a change in stool without a diet change, or sleeping all the time are not considered normal.

Pepe is showing signs of illness. In birds hiding and lethargy are fairly nonspecific signs of illness. But by time a bird starts showing signs of illness they are often seriously sick. Birds are prey animals so use a lot of strength trying to hide signs of illness. Please get Pepe to an avian vet asap. This website may help you find one of you don't have one. Www.aav.org Keep his cage in a warm, draft free room and minimize stress and handling. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/sick-pet-birds-nursing-care Good luck, I hope Pepe is better soon.

Thanks for reaching out about Sheephony. It sounds as if she is sick and not eating. When birds decrease appetite the feces often becomes greener, due to lack of bile salt re-absorption. Not pooping since not eating well. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a treatment plan. Providing healthy foods will not likely fix this but is a good long term goal. Giving a warm environment to recovery, 80-85 F range can give some support but is not a treatment. good luck.
