Just watched a 7 minute video on bird poop :)

My cockatiel passed out today, peacefully in my hand. Right from the moment, I noticed that she refused to eat, being quiet, sat sadly on the floor, not being able to balance herself on the perch, I knew that she was sick. I got her medicine (for common sickness in birds) and kept her warm with a heating bulb - sadly I had to cure her this way because my city is lock-down and no avian vets are opened nor anyone can go out. She got well after a night, she craved food, flew around, chirped loudly, being extremely affectionate, played with her mate, acted completely as normal. 3 days after that - she got sick again, and this time things didn't end well... She couldn't eat, couldn't even walk toward the warmth from the heating bulb... I still cannot figure out the cause of her death. My heart is broken into pieces . . .

Those two preening each other is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day, including my sun conure. 🥰🥰

Thank you for all the work you out into your videos, they are so helpful!!

Lol that morning poop. Yep, that's what my conures look like! I don't know why they decide to hold it all night.

you deserve soo much more attention. the way you edit your videos is so catching and makes things fun to learn !

Love your vids❤️! Im planning on getting a green cheek conure in 2 months. So your vids are super useful!☺️

Reliable, complete, detailed, useful source of information! Great channel! 👍

This info is real important. Glad you did it because I couldn't! 🐾Thank you

I love that there were plenty of photos and videos of the examples to look out for. This is really helpful.

Thank you for giving us this information. It's very important to be able to "catch" it before it's too late, as rare as that is. Give your birbs scratches for me! 💖💖💖

I don't know how I didn't find your video when looking for videos on bird poop! I think yours is the only video I've found that has actual pictures of the poop. I've been so confused on what a "black tarry" poop should look like. This has been insanely helpful. Thank you so much!

Just lost my Macaw, Harvey. Last week he was happy and fine. RIP

Thank you for this video! I'm a new bird owner and all is just fine. However, knowing a little more of what to look for is always a good thing... And I love my bird! Thank you again!

Ur videos are amazing! :) especially for beginners and those who needs a refresher course. I wished i came across your channel when i was new to the scene. Keep it up!

I had to put down my conure about a year ago, He suddenly got sick and progressively got worse, I searched for an avian vet but there was none in my area, I went to a regular vet as they were the only ones that would take my conure. They checked him out and told me he was fine and charged me $400, I had to put him down 2 days later because he couldn’t walk or eat anymore and I did not want him to suffer any more it was devastating for me.

I really appreciated the mention of morning poop smell. This is the only place I’ve ever seen that mentioned

This was such an informative video. I watched this when I was concerned about my bird and because of it. I brought her into the hospital and we ended up losing her so thank you for helping me realise that she was suffering.

Your channel has grown so quickly!! 😳😳

This was super helpful! Thank you. ❤️ 👍

This has been so helpful! Especially the part about only having urine/mostly urine. I've had my conures for a little over a month and sometimes their poops are mostly urine and I've been worried that they were sick or getting sick since googling didn't give me anything. The air is quite dry so they drink a lot and get a lot of veggies so I assume that's the reason why their poops are sometimes only/mostly urine! Thank you for the video!

Bless all our little birds 🥺❤️🙏

This vid is awesome and I'm getting a bird in about a week! I love your channel! You're so close to 1k :D

1:43 he dance.

thanks, i started giving my bird also fruits and the colour of the poop changed, thank you you saved my life I thought he was ill :')

OMG THANK YOUS SO MUCH!!! I was so worried about my bird for no reason at all, and now I am not!

Congrats on 1k!

Thank you for this! We just got a conure recently and are still learning

Thank you for this! I just got a rescued cockatiel and was worried about his watery poop, but now it makes sense since he was drinking water but wasn't eating enough due to a diet change.

I love your birds and your channel ceep doing wat you are

This was scary. Im more worried than ever. Good video. Im just overly Afraid for my parrot ^^”

Thank you such great content, i have finally found great bird content

Thanks for this it was really helpful!

I love your videos.... excellent content!

This is a great video. Many thanks! God bless all our birds.

Thank you so much for this! 😁

This is exactly what I wanted to know!! Thank you!!

Thanks for the info! I really want a pet (hopefully a spangle cockatiel but I'll be happy with any birb) and my parents agree if I show that I'm responsible enough during 2 months so I'm keeping a journal with lots of bird info (I have to translate it to Spanish tho) your channel is really helpful! Tysm!

very informative...thanks a lot

thank you for this!! its still super hard to tell if my bird is sick as my bird's poop really changes everyday :( and I freak out over every little change haha. recently it has become more watery but I do notice my bird drinking more water as weather has been hot. But also sometimes the poop sticks to its butt feathers which I read could mean its on a heavy seed diet...but its not :/ I'll just bring it to the vet and hope its okay

Another great video! I know this is the sort of stuff that took me a while to learn when I was a new bird owner. Would love to hear about your experience with your avian vet and finding a good one. I haven’t found one I’ve liked in my area yet (most of them are general “exotic and avian” vets and the last one I took Callie too broke a ton of her blood feathers while she was doing an exam of her wing!!! AND the vet apparently had the proper avian certification..... ugh anyway it was so scarring for both of us 😭) tips of what to look for and what questions to ask the vet to make sure they know what they are doing would be helpful 🙂

Thank you for these tips! I think I can worry a little less if I'm taking care of my cockatiel correctly now 😊

I always wondered why my birds poop was soooooo big in the morning ty for letting me know thank god my bird is healthy

It's the first time in my online life that I see a video with 0 dislikes

Don’t have a bird, I’m addicted to them.. don’t know why I watched this video. But.. I loved it! ❤️

My bird died an hour ago. I’m a bit sad now

great vid...really informative...thanks...

Good info!

Very helpful

Great video, I can see that you did a lot of research. My budgie Dollie died a few months ago after she lived with us for 12 years. We immediately noticed something was wrong; she was silent, she sat with 'wide' feathers (don't know the english expression for this sorry, but i hope you get what i mean), she was less active than normal and at times she would make gagging movements. I knew something was wrong and called the vet. They told me to wait it out for a night, as birds can also have a cold and she might get better. The next day she was not better at all, she was even sitting on the floor of the cage and couldnt sit upright anymore. It broke my heart. We went to the vet and got some medicine for lung parasites. The meds made her lively again at first, but over the course of a few weeks this cycle repeated itself and we knew we could not save her anymore. I guess I just wanted to say that when you spend a lot of time with your birds, you will notice if something is off. Just make sure to call the vet, you know your bird and you will often be right.

OMG THIS HELPED ME A LOT THANK YOU SO MUXH

Thank youu love this

I was your thousandth subscriber!

Great video

My bird died three hours ago .Weont know how she was healthy an hour back she died of choking we think she died before we could take her anywhere .And what makes it worse is it's my birthday and my pet died .

Thanks very much i just bought a pair of grass parakeets so this is very useful.

my bird eyes are usually closed but he has energy but when hes eyes are open he seems okay but he just closes his eyes an lay and be fluffy is he okay im so worried 😢💔

Great info

this video is a godsend, I look back on it whenever I get worried about my birds turds

GREAT VIDEO! I WILL KEEP IT FOR A REFERENCE!

i love your videos, i wish you got more attention, you're so underrated😢💖💖💖

Great video 👍🏼

Very usefull video🎉❤

I literately saw my bird sneeze a SINGLE time and i was worried as heck

Thanks. This is such great content explained so well!

Everything is good with my parrot but she does sleep some hours everyday with half closed eyes however she has a good posture while resting.She's very energetic in the morning and even after lunch. For the past few years that I habe her she's been healthy so I don't think I should worry. Thank you for this video.

I'm the first one to see this video!

Thanks. Got my bird to take medicine with the spoon and diluted strawberry syrup. Worked fast.

When you see small changes in your bird like they act differently then I’m so glad bird videos like this exists. My caique mochi is a ahole and just turned 1 yesterday and all of a sudden he’s not biting and not noisey when I get up to make breakfast. And I’m like…Um?. So I’m glad that it has nothing to do with his poop but I’m still at a loss on why he is acting like this? He’s out of the cage often and has plenty of attention. Is it because he going through hormones or because he’s a baby?.

Thanks this helps

My conure poops anywhere except in his own cage. No poop in the cage even after 5 days. Poops on dining table, bath tub, on my head, in my shoes.....

I'm just here for the cuteness 😂😂😂💓💓💓

great video! What pellets do you birds eat?

*me when I'm eating food and I see bird poop* Me: Yoshi did you poop again birdo digby koopa troopa? (Those are my birds name)

More bird vids please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

5:46 the poop has taken command

Hello, thank you for this video. I wanted to ask, how long do cockatiels hide illnesses?

Pretty much why I stopped using bedding for bird cages and just went with paper towels; much easier to actually see the poop and keep track of their health that way.

I might get a bird next year

i was panicking because i thought we wouldnt know if our bird would be sick but now ill know she is healthy yay

I’m thinking on getting a sun conure so I did some research to make sure I’ll be committed enough. Thank you so much, this really helps me out! Quick question if you or someone doesn’t mind answering for me: -what type of cage would you advise getting and what size? I want to make sure it is a fair size but not too big.

Very good video Though I do think that weighing once a month is wayyy too sparse Couple of times a week would be recommended and the best would be if weighted daily

Very informative. But does all this also implement on a baby parrot too ?

My dear cockatiel passed away from lung cancer. That means no poop problem, no weigh loss but a Sligh sound when breathing without any tail bobbing at first. We supposed it might have been aspergillosis at first. Didn't see anything on the radio so she got a 2 months antibiotics and antifungal treatment which seemed to have worked at that moment. Then, two months later it started again. This time I decided to put her under anesthesia to do a scanner and blood work. So yeah. 2/3 of her lungs and air sacs were getting eaten up by the tumors and a month after doing the exams I had to let her leave. I miss you little bird May what happened to you help others to know what's going on with their birdie to have more time to say goodbye than what I had with you.

I cried through the whole vid

A tip for the bottom of the cage is to use kitchen roll because it is white so you can see the poops

I was wondering because my bird was laying on the floor with his belly down and we were worried if he was ok he was also letting us pet him which is unusual for him because he Doesn’t like us petting him. Any suggestions of what to do to make him be more happier and active?

Where did you get your turquoise cheek conure I have been looking for one

Im quite worried about one of my lovebirds since i never really heared him making any sounds besides a kind of whispering or hissing. Sometimes he also moves his head and crop weirdly like hes either catching air or trying to swallow something. They are still very young (about 22 weeks now) and i don't know if its due to his young age or a disease😟

Hey love ur vids ❤️! I’m getting a puppy soon and it’s going to grow to be a big dog like the one you have I’m scared it won’t like my bird did you do anything to make sure they got along ?

my quaker parakeet started to poop, poops with about 2 or 3 bubbles in it im worried because it accidentally ate a tiny piece of chocolate it was barely the size of a seed but i am still worried should i be scared or is it fine. Edit: I went to the vet and turns out it’s fine

Do you recommend a purifier in the bird room?

When i saw the bird poop i was like o.o

I have a parakeet, and he has dark green poops when he freshly poops, but when it dries or I’m not looking it’s black poop that’s dried with a little bit of white is that normal?

lately my bird has been taking in large amounts of air (long breaths whilst looking up) she has also been drooping her wings. What could this be a sign of?

So i got a peach-faced lovebird that's a little over 6 months now and every since he came to us he's been acting a bit strange. He's been getting really frustrated and when he does he starts choking and needs help to puke his food out which also never helps cause he just keeps flapping his wings, running around and choking. We thought that maybe the sunflower seeds were too big for him and he might be choking on those so we stopped giving them to him but it didn't stop. This month we thought that maybe it was getting better but these past days it only got worse and worse so we finally took him to vet. She listened to how he was breathing and said he was fine. I know he's not so we showed her one of the videos where he obviously was choking and getting frustrated over it and all she said was "Oh he's just playing". I don't know what else to do. I know I'm not overreacting and vet was my last option. It will only keep happening but apparently he's "fine". Anyone knows what could be wrong with him and any tips on what to do now?

I found out my budgie is vomiting which is CONSIDERED A SIGN OF SICKNESS. I took it to a vet I've known for, and he said: Sometimes males express their affection for other parrots or humans. Sometimes, however, it is due to some inflammation of the neck. If the vomit does not smell sour and unpleasant, it is not a big problem. If there is more smelly porridge, the diet will need to be adjusted. To give scalded, boiled rice chamomile tea. No sharp seeds for a while.

should i be worried? my bird has a yellowish to greenish colour urine and is on a seed diet. It’s also the regular size. thanks

I have an 8 week cockatiel that just came home with me last week. She is still in formula. Her poop has heated and urine. The feces seems not as solid as some of your pictures. Is that normal with baby formula?

What if you can’t afford to get the bird checked at the vet
