Hi, i have an indian ringneck who has been quite unwell

Post by NathanFNQ »

Hi my bird has been puffed up and regurgitating quite a bit the last couple of days, tonight after work we found him very lathargic, not moving much, and dialated pupils. I checked his seed and found insects about the size of small ants but look differant. (No idea what they are) but I'm assuming this is the cause as there has been no other changes to environment or diet. Please help

Please take your bird to an avian vet asap! He sounds very unwell and may need urgent medical attention from an expert.

The bugs might be weevils, if so they are unlikely to be the problem.

I agree, but regardless of the cause, if the bird is sick then he needs the vet.
