Menstrual cycle

Question
Hi. I have a green cheek conure and i would just like to know if they suffer from menstrual cycles just like female humans do?  Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you

Answer
No, avians do not have menstrual cycles.  If there's ever a show of blood from their vent it requires immediate veterinary intervention to find the cause.

Never use pet store products to treat your bird - never assume you know what's wrong without it being confirmed or you could be wasting valuable time in getting early treatment that may make all the difference.


 Very good job by the way - asking first is a very smart step!
