Dealing With Bristled Up Birds
[ad#blod-ad]
If you see your budgie being bristled up during the last few days, while shivering and its beak growing and curving, make sure the budgie has plenty of minerals and vitamins, as this is their problem.
The first thing you should do is to get the budgie to a vet, so he can cut the growths and file the beak that is curved. This should only be done by a specialist, so don’t do it yourself.
The second step would be to get a mineral and vitamins crayon, that can be bought from pet stores. In order for them to have something to gnaw, you should give them pine tree twigs. If you don’t have any crayon, you can give them chalk instead.
What you need to look for is whether the shivering and bristling are the effect of a cold. You can find that out by looking at their feces. When the bird has a cold the feces will be either very light or very dark. If you find evidence of a cold, you can take a tetraulean capsule obtained from the chemist. Get powder from inside that capsule and put it on a knife’s point. Use a few drops of water to dissolve it and pour the liquid inside the beak, while using a dropper. Treat the bird for three days this way. By that time the feces should return to their normal color. Don’t overdose the bird though.
Vitamins should be given to the parrot even if it doesn’t have a cold. You can buy vitamins for them from a pet store. One other possible reason for the appearance of the condition is starvation, since when the beak is deformed, they can’t eat millet anymore. Fruit and vegetables aren’t the only things you should feed them. Bread is another food they should be given.
The place where they live shouldn’t be too hot or too cold. Just make it a normal temperature. Draughts and humidity are two things that budgies don’t enjoy and can cause deformations as well. Budgies should be allowed to fly a bit from time to time.
