Worms?

[MikewJohnson]

How do you know if your birds have worms? I don't see any worms in the poo. I just had two of my favorite birds lose so much weight that they both died. If it could be worms, can someone recommend some good worm medicine?

You would have to do a fecal test. You might see worms in the feces, but far more often, you diagnose worms by seeing worm eggs in the feces. You need a microscope for that. Any veterinarian should be able to do a fecal flotation test for you for ~$20, more or less.
