The sick bird is not looking very good. I have a control group of three other birds, same species, who are well and hopping around and beeping – the sick bird is crouching on his perch, feathers puffed up and breathing heavily. I think he looks worse than he did last night. I don’t know what to do for him other than make sure he has fresh food and water, warmth, and a calm environment. He will get his medicine on schedule. Beyond this, what do you do for a bird?
I really hope he doesn’t die!
