My sun conure is fluffed, sleepy, and has watery poop. What to do?

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.

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.

Thanks for reaching out about Sunshine and including a photo. If after the 13 hours of posting, she is still lethargic, a veterinary visit is recommended. If she is cold, providing supplemental heat should improve attitude almost immediately. Birds are often fluffed when ill and conserve energy by being quiet.. Good luck.

Rosie is probably very ill, but unfortunately i couldn't tell you what is wrong based on these very general symptoms, which is often the case with birds you will need to take her to an avian vet where a blood test and faecal exam will be done to determine what is the cause of the disease before it can be treated. i would not recommend taking her to a vet that is not an avian specialist, they are not likely to be able to help and will probably end up referring you anyway, try to look on the internet where is the closest avian vet specialist and give them a call, they will tell you to bring her as soon as you can.

Piper is definitely showing symptoms of sickness, it's hard to say what it might be as the symptoms are very general but I would strongly recommend taking him to an avian vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated.

These signs could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). No need for a specialist at this stage, but clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics are probably needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Unfortunately, those are all very vague symptoms that are common to several issues. Anything from illness to infection, parasites, etc may be the cause of Lala's symptoms. If he continues to show them, seeking veterinary care is best for an exam to figure out the cause. it is also a good idea to move him to a hospital cage that is kept warm with easy access to food and water and separated from other birds to allow him to rest until you can get to the vet.
