I have a 15 year old male cockatiel that is ill. He is breathing (panting) with his mouth open, getting very thin even though he is eating, and he is very weak. He can no longer fly and even has trouble walking without falling down. The vet told us 3 weeks ago that he is has an enlarged liver, an ..

My cockatiel is sick. She can't fly, has the shakes, and has a real hard time staying awake. She used to be fiesty. When you try to put her back in the cage, she flies away. She has to go in when she is ready, not before. Now we have no problem putting her in her cage. She really lost her "s..
