Pretty lady! She looks so much better :hugs

I’m so happy she’s improved! The green is likely from poor nutrition because she isn’t eating. If you’re comfortable sourcing the items and learning how, you could tube feed her liquid food. You can also feed liquid food with just a syringe. Small amounts frequently are better than a lot all at...

That’s great news! Hopefully with a bit of TLC she can bounce back. Where are you located in the world? Is it quite cold? And what is the ventilation like in your coop? Poor ventilation can result in/exacerbate respiratory issues. Keep Butters warm, hydrated, minimise stress and encourage her...

It’s good she survived the night and has some degree of energy. Do you have access to a vet who can help? If she’s not eating you might need to consider tube feeding. How are your other birds?

How is your lady doing @braxide

She looks much more comfortable there with you now. Respiratory illness can be caused by bacteria or viruses. So the antibiotics may be helpful but they also may not. If it were me I would focus on supportive care for now to see if she recovers some, and also keep a close eye on the rest of...

That’s good. You said you offered her some water and she drank of her own volition so that’s also good. Perhaps you can just offer some in a bowl and dip her beak into the water periodically to encourage her to drink.

I don’t see why not.

The green liquid is probably because she hasn’t been eating and is undernourished. My advice is to bring her inside or put her somewhere where it’s calm, warm and quiet. Maybe use some pillows or towels to help support her if she’s struggling to support herself. Give her the sugar water as...

Do you have a syringe or a dropper? You can make up some sugar water and administer it to her if she won’t drink herself.

What time of day is it where you are? Is her crop full? If so how does it feel?

If you can notice when she poops and post a picture if it’s abnormal, that would be helpful also.

I think sometimes with respiratory illnesses they can get over the acute phase but it lingers in their system and from then they are weaker or more prone to other problems. So if you do a thorough check over you might discover the issue. My understanding of respiratory symptoms are weepy eyes...

I would bring her inside and check her over. Check her for mites and lice, check her vent and look at her eyes and ears etc. It’s important to check the crop in the evening and morning to make sure it’s full and empty respectively. Feel her keel bone too to see if she feels underweight. Maybe...
