My parrot is lossing his feathers tremendously moveover his colour is becoming pale and ends of feathers are getting brown.what should be the routine followed?
I think you need to put him on a feathering vitamin like this one. It seems Amazon does not have it in stock but maybe you can find it elsewhere? https://www.amazon.in/Nekton-Labs-Nekton-Bio-Bird-Feathering/dp/B0002DIM3W/ref=sr_1_24?dchild=1&keywords=nekton&qid=1587814617&sr=8-24

How to care for love birds how often to clean n feed the birds. What kind of water should I give the birds to drink
Hello. All birds should have fresh food and water changed every day. Clean the cage about once a week or more often as needed based on size of cage and mess produced. Tap water may be fine to give depending on your water source, so check with your municipality about that. If in doubt, offer bottled water. Feed about 65-75% complete pellets like ZuPreem or Roudybush, and the rest can be fresh veggies, some seed, and nuts. Have Tweety examined by an avian vet at least once a year for wellness, since catching problems early gives the best chance of successful treatment. Avian vets are listed at aav.org. Good luck!

This baby lovebird was thrown out of the nest by his mum, his sibling is much bigger and stronger. He had a lot of food/snot build up on his nose which I removed. He is sneezing sometimes and his nostrils have a clear snotty discharge. It's hard for
Thanks for reaching out about Eggbert and including a photo. These baby parrots need to be fed every 3-4 hours, almost as soon as the crop empties. Providing heat and humidity support are very important. Concerns are over some underlying disease (bacterial, viral, developmental) and that is why hen kicked it out of the nest. A veterinary visit might be needed to assess and determine if antibiotics might be needed. Good luck.

Is there any natural herb/supplement that can help a bird who is experiencing puffed up feathers and bloody droppings?
Unfortunately, you're probably not going to find anything that is effective. The bloody droppings can be due to infection, parasites or malnutrition to name a few causes. The puffed up feathers can be a general symptom of stress or illness. Ideally, Bruno should be physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Do not medicate him without the advice of your veterinarian, even if using herbs or other supplements.
