Thank you for your question, and thank you for being concerned about this bird. It is very kind of you. I am wondering, if you haven't brought it to the attention of the pet store staff, I would recommend starting there. I would agree that I don't think that it is a great idea to bring a sick bird home with you, especially into a situation that can be stressful for some birds (even if a dog is very nice, they can be very scary to a bird of this size). And with non-specific signs of abnormal droppings and sleeping a lot, there are numerous things that could be going on. I would recommend bringing the bird's state to the attention of the pet store, and hopefully they will have it evaluated. There are many pet stores who work directly with veterinarians to treat the animals that reside at their stores, and when the animals are feeling better, they can then go to a new home. I hope that gives you a place to start, and I hope that you are able to help this little bird feel better!

That's a lot of questions! When getting a new bird, it is best to keep them in a separate cage for a few weeks (quarantine) to make sure they do not spread any illness to each other. Once the new bird checks out safe, you can keep them near each other to get used to hearing/seeing each other, and then gradually introduce them, whether on a shared play pen, or in a cage that is large enough to comfortably house both. Make sure you have extra food and water dishes, toys, perches, etc so that they cannot fight over these resources or become territorial. Each bird will have different markings depending on the type of coloration the bird is (there are different varieties of markings) so this will greatly depend on if you purchase a bird with similar markings or not.

Your birds feathers should be thick, glossy and smooth . There should be no bare patches on, under the wings, the back, abdomen tail or vent area. Bare patches can be a sign of feather plucking, poor nutrition and illness. Your bird should have an upright posture with a full-chest appearance. THe eyes should be clear and bright. The nostrils should be open all the way, no blockage and no signs of redness, discharge or sneezing. The beak should be smooth, there should be no growths or rough spots or peeling and it should close perfectly. The feet should have soft scales and not be white-gray. Younger birds have pink gray feet, older ones have white scales. The legs and the feathers around the vent area should be clean without poop stains. The droppings in the cage should not be watery. The urine in the droppings should always be clear, the urates should be white and there should be a brown greenish part of feces also. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Thanks for helping these guys! I would recommend you continue to try this because most of the time, it just takes time for them to get better and trust you more. The secret recipe really is patience and being consistent. I would also recommend you try giving them treats as you pet them so they start associating your contact with something positive. This should work but again it will take time. Best of luck!

Unfortunately changing a dog's prey drive is very difficult. Even the best of dogs still have instinct take over at times and there isn't much you can do other than make sure the bird and Ptolemy are monitored at all times. You can also find a local trainer and see if they have any advice but in my experience this is very hard to prevent. I'm sorry about your budgie. I hope that helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco.
