RESPIRATORY DISEASES & INFECTIONS
We are not veterinarians nor biologists and we do not pretend to know avian medical related problems. We always try and answer people's questions the best we can. We do not have all the spare time in the world either. If the question is disease or disorder related we usually refer to a few avian medical books we have for as close an answer as we can find. It is very difficult to diagnose a bird-related illness with some minor descriptions without seeing the bird or knowing its background, its living conditions and food it has eaten, dropping color etc., as there can be several possible answers so we usually will just say it is too hard to determine what is wrong without seeing the bird unless it is a simple obvious problem.
If your bird seems to be very ill it is best to see an avian veterinarian as soon as you can.
