hi guys
I'm writing on behalf of my parents,
they have aviary birds, in the last 6 weeks there price of wales bird are gone down hill, none, around where they live can help, the vet did not know much about them and couldn't help really, unless he charged them a lot which they can not afford,
any symptoms are
watery diarrhea
thin
still eating!
not flying
they have wormed them a few weeks ago but still no improvement.
my dads birds mean the world to him, he now has them under heat lamps in his front room, he sadly lost two last week but sill has 7 POWs left . none of his other birds are effected
sorry i have gone on

Where abouts do you live? Perhaps you could Google for an avian vet near by. You wouldn't have to take all the birds just one. Plus try googling the symptoms and/or bird type may very well give you all sorts of info! Sorry I can't be of much help otherwise. Let us know how you get on.

It sounds like they have picked up some kind of infection, they could possibly need anti-biotics (Baytril). They really do need to see an avian vet, do tell us where abouts you are.

Melysia is right only the vet can tell exactly what to do. they must have some sort of bird flu, I also suggest you ask your dad to keep a distance from the birds until the vet confirmed what's wrong because bird flu is air borne and your dad might get sick as well.

There are so many things that could have caused this, but bird flu

Bird flu is very very unlikely. I imagine its an infection, could even be something like Psittacosis which is very serious.

Definately get one along to an AVIAN vet. Most "normal" vets have no clue with birds really, you do need to see a specialist for this sort of thing. Heres some in Wales i found with a very quick google search:
