I feed him a healthy diet including fruit that is specially for cockatiels and other small parrots which i purchased from a bird shop. he is sneezing occasionally,

he also was sitting with his eyes shutting and opening with his feathers fluffed up.

someone please help im very worried for him.

Answer 1

My budgie Juno pic id was sick yesterday he ate finch seed, first time he ate that seed.

Seed everywhere :o\ YUCK

I gave him a pork crackling he stopped being sick really helped him (Juno loves pork crackling he can't get enough of it now)

{I heard that salt helps too}

Its possible he ate something that doesn't agree with him

What you need to do is write down what he ate that day and try one thing each day and see what it was

- it might have been nothing - hope its nothing.

Answer 2

You need to take him to a vet right away.  Any vet, it does not have to be an avian vet.  He has signs of illness, and a birds illness can get worse very quickly.  Please read my profile

Answer 3

he could be cold.

poor birdie try covering with a little blanket on your lap.

sing to him give him fresh water and make sure he drinks some.

A COCKATIEL WITH OUT WATER FOR 24 HOURS CAN DIE!

best of luck

i would not like to go to the vet but if worse just GO!

Answer 4

If you are hand feeding the baby which i don't think you are than that just means that you are giving him too much food. so you could try to lessen his food because he is still a baby and he might not know when to stop.  Or I would take him to a fet becuase unless it's cold he shouldn't be puffing up and still really should be puffing even when it is cold.  He possibly could have a parasite so I would take him to a fet ASAP.  Good luck

Answer 5

1st thing to do is check his food. It may be bad.

Try not to worry, but I would take him to a bird vet quick smart.

Parrots can appear to vomit but are actually feeding each other. But it's not normal to sit with shut eyes and fluffed up feathers.

I hope he is Ok

Good luck
