I just got a quaker parrot a little bit ago she is about 4 months old ?

Question

yeterday i found her eye is very swollen and has a liquid coming out does anybody no anything>?????????????help!!!!!!! she is acting perfectly fine

Answer 1

you should take your bird to the vets asap. Even if she is acting fine- birds will often not display any signs that they are sick because they are a prey species and signs of weakness in the wild get them killed. If she has fluid coming out of her eye that is not a good thing- she could have an infection which may kill her, or she may loose the sight in her eye. its not worth the risk.

Answer 2

The condition you speak of is called conjunctivitis. Unfortunately is is a symptom of many kinds of illnesses. Some are mild, but some can be deadly.

I advise that you take your Quaker to an Avian vet as soon as possible. He can do tests to determine what is wrong.

I have a Cockateil that has recurring conjunctivitis. It is not serious, and I treat it by giving him antibiotics which always clears it up.  Your bird, however may be in much more serious trouble.

Please take your bird to an Avian Vet.
