QuestionI'm worried about my little keet for she sleeps with her head tucked under her hump(in research I have done,that's one of the symptoms under the"take your bird to the vet if it has any of these symptoms " list) and oftenly closes her eyes even after I've picked her up and talk to her or gently claped my hands to get her attention.Is there anything I can do other than go to the vet.?
AnswerHi, Jackeline. Thanks for posting!
Sometimes when a bird closes its eyes like you describe, the bird could be dehydrated. Ensure your bird is drinking enough water. However, these things you describe could be signs of illness. I don't have enough detailed information from you in order to help further and even if I did have the information, it is extremely difficult to diagnose bird illness over the internet. To be on the safe side, you should take your bird to a certified avian veterinarian ASAP for a checkup in order to see if your bird is ill or not. Don't hesitate.
