Question
please help! Female love bird dosen't look good,eys half closed,balance is bad, keeps stumbling,started laying, could she be egg bound? looks kind of swollen, but might just be me.Male seems worried also.

Answer
Hi there,

Sorry to be so short with you, but take it to an avian vet ASAP. If it is egg bound, you need to sort it quick, if it is something else, you still need to get it sorted quickly as birds can deteriorate very quickly. Let me know what happens.
