Is my parakeet sick? Please help?

Question

My parakeet has been sleeping the past couple of days, hes quite and hasn't been acting as usual. He wets his head alot and theres some type of slime on the top. He seems very tired all the time and rarely flies anymore. What should i do?

Answer 1

Take him straight to an Avian Vet.

Fingers crossed

Answer 2

you better get him checked out - my mom had a parakeet that got sick with something and his claws turned black and fell off, he just had stumps to walk on and my mom had to make special perches for him.

Answer 3

Take him to the vet, but it does not have to be an avian vet.  Regular vets are perfectly capable of treating birds as long as they are willing.  An avian vet is just one that specializes in birds.  A regular vet has learned most of the same things he has.  Please read my profile and you will know why I know this.

Answer 4

You should take him to an Avian Certified Vet right away! Bird hide their illnesses, and by the time you notice they are sick they are VERY SICK. Please do not wait your bird needs help. Regular vets are not the best for birds Avian are.

Answer 5

take your bird to a avian vet closest to you.

Answer 6

Hes sick, Ive had seven, when my bird did that, he committed suicide, he starved himself. You should see a vet before its too late.
