What to Do if Your Budgie Stays Fluffed Up
If your budgie has been fluffed up for several days, is shivering, and its beak has grown and curved, it might be lacking essential vitamins and minerals. Here's what you should do to help your bird recover.
Visit the Vet
First, take your budgie to a veterinarian. A professional can trim any overgrown beak and address other issues. Don’t attempt this yourself, as it requires expertise.
Nutritional Support
Next, purchase a vitamin and mineral supplement from a pet store. Budgies benefit from these supplements. Additionally, provide pine-tree twigs for them to chew. If a supplement is unavailable, chalk can be a substitute, as it is essential for their health.
Check for Illness
Assess whether your budgie’s symptoms might be due to a cold. Check its droppings?"dark or very light droppings can indicate illness. If you suspect a cold, consider the following treatment:
- Obtain a capsule of Tetraulean from a pharmacy.
- Open the capsule and use a small knife to take a tiny amount of the powder.
- Dissolve this small dose into 1-2 drops of water.
- Carefully open your budgie's beak and administer the solution with a dropper.
Note: Limit the treatment to three days, as overuse can be harmful. Once the droppings return to normal, the treatment can be stopped.
Ensure Proper Feeding
Make sure your budgie is eating enough. A deformed beak can make it difficult for them to eat seeds. Offer bread, as budgies enjoy it, and ensure a balanced diet with more than just fruits and vegetables.
Maintain a Comfortable Environment
Keep your budgie in a place with a stable temperature. Avoid excessive cold, heat, humidity, and drafts, as these conditions can cause health issues. Allow your budgie some time to fly if possible.
By following these steps, you can help your budgie recover and ensure it stays healthy and happy.
