Articles on this website are not meant to take the place of proper veterinary
and other medical care. If your bird appears ill or shows symptoms of illness,
please contact your avian veterinarian as quickly as possible. Birds are
prey animals and hide their symptoms in order to survive; by the time owners
see symptoms, a bird may have become extremely ill. Owners are advised to
seek medical attention immediately. To find an avian veterinarian in your
area, contact the Association of Avian Veterinarians at
