So I just got home and my adorable, lifelong birby friend suddenly appears to have some kind of infection. His eyes look abnormal and he's become unusually aggressive. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been exposed to any unfamiliar animals or foods, and he was normal thus morning but now all he wants to do is stare at me as if pleading for help.
ETA: He also won't eat anything but peanut butter filled pretzels suddenly. Picture below. Attached File |

My high school crush does some bird care stuff, but she doesn't live in Colorado.
It looks like some kind of internal cranial pressure thing. Is birby in any kind of distress? Can he fly (if he could fly before)? Do you have any pictures of him from before, cause that's a strange looking birb. |

View Quote If he's losing color, that probably means he's molting. Are the less colorful feathers softer, or won't he let you handle him to find out? Has he molted a lot from his head, and the eyes seem out of proportion only because of the lack of feathers? |

Astra Zeneca may be able to help.
Do you have any before pictures to help us gauge the eye gauge? Poor lil birb. |

If he's molting, there should be a lot of feathers around. I'm pretty sure birbs don't eat their molted feathers (I've heard reptiles sometimes eat their shed skins, but we're not talking about those).
Are there a lot of feathers? If not, we need to look at something else. |

I wonder if his craving for peanut butter is in response to the approach of winter...and being a birb from the southern hemisphere, his internal calendar has him anticipating summer.
That might explain the molting - his body is preparing for summer, even though he's fattening himself up for winter. That would explain the confused look, and the physiologically unexpected weight gain might explain the protruding eyes. Did the opposite happen this past spring? I fear the little guy will just have to ride it out. Maybe keeping some bright lights on in the evening would help, kind of like they do for seasonal affective disorder. |

I think he's just constipated, or whatever the birb equivalent is (since their...exhaust port combines everything). The grain and fat craving is his attempt to add some fiber and some lubrication. The fact that things aren't moving inside explains: The color change - he's turning more brown The bulging eyes - bloated insides have nowhere to go but up The aggressive attitude - imagine if you hadn't gone for a few days The lack of movement - with everything jammed up, he's probably got intestinal cramps and probably hasn't been sleeping well, so he's too tired to move much and it hurts to move anyway I'm not certain that an enema will help. You might just pop him. But if he's not looking better tomorrow, then it's what I would try, unless you have a good birb vet. I imagine an ear syringe with warm (not hot) vegetable oil would be the best treatment. Just a little at first. Oh, I guarantee this will be a messy job. |
