Product Information

However, if the humidity level is elevated or there’s poor ventilation, it can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, leading to respiratory conditions.

As parrot owners, it’s our responsibility to know when it’s time to treat and care for them as well as when they’re on their way out. These may be external or internal, and are generally larger organisms living on body tissues of their host. Nevertheless, down below, we’re going to discuss everything there is to know about parrots and how you can tell if they’re sadly on their way or not.Because of the ‘open’ nature of a parrot’s anatomy, with no muscular diaphragm to separate the chest cavity from the abdomen, and free communication between the air sac system and the hollow bones, most introduced infectious organisms may start in one organ like the lung or the stomach, but will rapidly spread around the body to produce a septicaemia. The list of possible bacteria is long, and precise identification would depend upon laboratory culture and analysis. Such tests can include antibiotic sensitivity, revealing which antibacterial drug should theoretically kill the organism. The choice will be tempered by cost, availability, possible side-effects, and the practicalities of its administration to the patient. Drugs given in drinking water are often not taken in sufficient dose by the bird; palatable in-food medications are few and far between; while the daily administration of drops, tablets, or injections is stressful for the parrot and the owner. A vet will run tests to determine the cause of the sinus infection. Based on the outcome, treatment will be recommended, which could include the following: Nasal Flush An explanation for rhinoliths in a parrot’s nostrils is hypovitaminosis A – a shortage of vitamin A in the bird’s diet. This is common in budgies who are sometimes fed all-seed diets. The same can be said with your parrot, meaning that something is wrong if they’re having breathing issues.

Pet birds drop their food and poop frequently. Eventually, it dries out, releasing harmful airborne particles. A parrot’s cage should be spot-cleaned daily and deep-cleaned weekly. Vitamin A The long nose enables the grips/pliers to reach into even narrower gaps to clamp objects, and are ideal for delicate work such as model making. Most commonly, scaly-face mites (knemidokoptes pilae) congregate around the head and burrow into the face, causing crusty sores around the corners of the beak.Toft CA, Wright TF.
