Common Diseases in Pet Birds and How to Detect Them

Often we are unable to detect illness in our pet birds because they are genetically programmed to hide them. This is because in jungles and the wild, if they display illness and disease they will be killed at once. It is survival of the fittest in the wild. Some commonly displayed symptoms are listed below and what they mean in terms of bird illness.

Re: Common Diseases in Pet Birds and How to Detect Them

Diarrhea- If your bird has infection in the intestinal tract, because of bacteria or virus, there will be additional fluids in the stool. You must take the bird to a vet, because if the food is moving too quickly in the digestive tract, nutrients are not being absorbed. More over if the diarrhea is greenish colored, it is a symptom of metal poisoning or Psittacosis.

Eye Discharge- Eye discharge is very dangerous and can lead to death of the bird. This symptom normally occurs in cases of Psittacosis. Psittacosis is highly infectious and can affect human beings too. Rush your bird to the vet and get other pets and members of the family checked too. If caught in time, it can be cured by antibiotics.

Lethargy- Is your bird not eating properly or is inactive? There can be many causes for this and none of them good. The bird might be suffering some serious ailment like infection, heart of kidney disease or even cancer. Get your bird tested and treated at once.

Loss of Appetite- This again is an outward manifestation of some serious internal problem. Birds are fragile and neglect of these symptoms can lead to death. Consult your vet, and follow his advise.

Nasal Discharge- Commonly caused by dust, bacteria and even feather dust. Certain species like Cockatoos, Macaws etc produce a large amount of it. In case the discharge is colored and abnormal it is a normal clearing of respiratory passages. If it is colored, take the bird to a vet.

Puffed Up Feathers- This is a normal reaction of birds when they feel insecure or threatened. But if the feathers are puffed up even when the bird is asleep it is an outward symptom of an internal disease. Take the bird to a vet.

Vomiting- Birds often throw up during the mating season. Even so, check with your vet, just to play safe.

Smile Growing Old and Gray

thanks a lot , bump up up up!! When you were 19, she paid your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags.  You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends.  When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone.  You thanked her by saying, “It's none of your business.”  When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future.  You thanked her by saying, “I don't want to be like you.”  When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation.  You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe.  When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment.  You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly.  When you were 24, she met your fiance10 and asked about your plans for the future.  You thanked her by glaring and growling, “Muuhh-ther, please!”  When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you.  You thanked her by moving halfway across the country.  When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby.  You thanked her by telling her, “Things are different now.”  When you were 40, she called to remind you of a relative's birthday.  You thanked her by saying you were “really busy right now.”  When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her.  You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.  And then one day she quietly died.  And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder.  “Rock me baby, rock me all night long.”  “The hand who rocks the cradle...may rock the world”.Thsale is a professional, loyal and reliable wow gold supplier online, we pioneered selling cheap wow gold.

Re: Common Diseases in Pet Birds and How to Detect Them

The main problems regarding illnesses and diseases that affect pet birds is that birds tend to hide their weaknesses and also many pet owners do not know how to recognise when their bird is sick. By the time the average person realises that their bird is ill, it can often be too late for treatment. Birds have a natural ability to hide illness as this can save them from ill treatment by other birds and this can make it extremely difficult to identify symptoms in time.

there are two main cause of disease are in birds are:

Diarrhea and parasites are common causes of illness in birds while stress and even depression can badly affect birds. Polyoma affects chicks leaving them
