my blue and gold macaw is acting weird2007-11-24 17:23:40

hi my macaw is not acting like herself shes sleeping alot and not eating. shes not talking as much she has toys and stuff big cage shes about 25 yrs old please help

Answers:

When my cockatiel is ill, not eating just sleeping all the time, I give her calpol (Sugar free 3+). I hold her on her back and put a drop of calpol in her mouth with a clean finger and a couple of drops of water, wait until she drinks it then l put her back in the cage It makes her feel better. I repeat twice a day until for she looks better. I also put a drop in her drinking water mixed round every week, even if she looks ok. Cheaper then going vets anyway. Hope it works for you.

Better consult a vet, the bird may be sick.

You should take her ta an avian veterinarian ASAP.

First of all, you'll want to contact your vet and ask him about this. To save money, you can simply call instead of making a costly appointment and see what he suggests.

There's also always great resources on the web about caring for these gorgeous birds. One site that's very informative and covers a ton of topics and informations is

Aside from that, do searches on B&G Macaws on yahoo and see what turns up.

Best of luck!

That is not a good sign for a bird to be acting that way. A bird has to feel really badly before they will show it. They are prey animals and it's instinct for them to hide any illness or injury.
