Hello Everyone,
My cockatiel has poop stuck on his feathers! Is this normal? What do I need to do? Should I pull it off?
FIXED! MORE PROBLEMS BELOW!
Ok so I cleaned his bottom off and it seems to be all gone but now he seems to be sick.
Some Symptoms:
- Sleeping Early
- Not begging to come out of his cage
- Puffed up
- Less Active
What can this mean? Does this mean I should rush him to the vet tomorrow?
URGENT! Sick Bird!

I would attempt to wash it off so as to not damage feathers. I don't have enough information to say more than this.

I would get him in to see the birdie doctor, if it were mine to do.

When parrots have poop stuck around their vent, 99.99% of the time they have diarrhea so you need to take that bird to the vet.
