I think my bird is sick!

Question

shes a parakeet.she always close her eyes or sleep or something.

i dont know if shes like tired because maybe she had rough time.we just bought her yesterday(yesterday:August 2,2008).plz help im so worried.

Answer 1

its ok she is just stressed, new people, new environment, new cage, new toys. im sure you would be stressed if someone just picked you up and put you in a new house, new ppl. give her time to adjust make sure she has found her water/food and check her p**p to see if normal not watery. if she continues to do this for more than a week somthing might be up. Also does she look healthy(feathers,nails) and if she is a bby she might be extra tired.

Answer 2

Sounds like she is really stressed. Just keep her quite and give her time to adjust to her new surrondings. I would keep half her cage covered so she feels safe and secure and keep her in a quite place in house. She has been through alot. If still not right in day or two call place you got her and ask. make sure she has plenty food and water. Do not put any strange toys or anything to scare her in cage yet. Good luck.  

Answer 3

if you just got her yesterday don't worry to much. shes just is really stressed, for any bird it takes at least 2 weeks to get well adapted of there new home. And its better to not even handle them as much for the first day and maybe second depending on how comfortable you and the bird are with eachother. but if she is staying on the bottom of her cage, not eating, not drinking, has a unusal stool, and or seems life less these are all signs of being sick. take her to the vet

good luck

hope you enjoy your new friend

Answer 4

Its ok, just give her time shes in a new environment. Give her some space. Are her poops watery? Keep an eye for her eating, it will take a day at least before you see her.
