Hi all
I got this bird yesterday, from a friend who visited the flea market. He was told the bird is about a month old.
I have feed the since I have got. It always seems to be on a lying poisition and not keeping its head up. While feeding though briefly the bird does lift its head.
However she is shivering a lot, its winter her but the temperatures in the room's about 20 and the bird is kept in wood shavings. The bird is on a diet of cerelac wheat with fruits, ever since i got it. I used to give the same for my fischers when they where weaning.
Bird seems very dull/hurt

Re: Bird seems very dull/hurt
You need to take it to a vet as soon as possible, for one thing, it looks way too young to have left the nest, and it definitely looks sick.
Re: Bird seems very dull/hurt
Do you think it's younger than the said one month ?
Here in Saudi Arabia information so how it was obtained and all are hard to source. But like you said I'll take it to a vet as soon as possible.

I'm not a breeder so I can't say with certainty, but looking at its feathers, there are still a lot of baby pin feathers, I wonder if it was stolen from a nest.
Re: Bird seems very dull/hurt
I wouldn't rule that out too.
Thank you so much for the inputs.
