Dear friends
We found a parrot at our balcony of our house (Dubai). It was not well and hardly moving. We brought her in and gave her water and food. She might have been tired because of the heat outside. We brought her in and fed her fruits which she was eating. We bought a cage and some parrot food (sunflower seeds) and put it in her cage. We haven’t seen her eating that. She only eats fruits.
We took her to a doctor to examine as we have no experience petting a bird. Doctor gave me some fruit pellets to feed the bird and told not to give her fruits which is leading to diarrhea for the bird.
Also, the bird is head bouting most of the time and so doctor told us there is some nervous system issue with the bird and so have us an antibiotic and told us to give it along with the food.
We have kept the food in the cage and she is not eating it. We tried to feed her after taking her out from the cage and she doesn’t seem to like it.
What should we do? Can you advise based on your experience. She is a young bird (juvenile). How to make her eat food? Look forward to hear from you.
Doctor also advised to let her go as it is a wild bird. We don’t want to let her go now as she will die in this climate and moreover presume these birds travel in flock and so not sure how it will survive alone
Regards
