Hey there, I have a semi-baby budgie, and he is really sick. All of his poop is clumped up in his butt, I've cleaned it up many times, but it keeps clumping back together. He also lays very low on the perch, and prefers to stay in the bottom of the cage. I don't know what it could be, I'm scared something might happen to him. Can you guess what's going on with him?

How old is he? It would be best to see a vet if you can.

Technically, this is called pasting of the vent. I don't know much about it, but there's an article about it here: http://talkbudgies.com/your-budgies-hea ... -vent.html

He doesn't sound too good at all. Can you get him to a vet as soon as possible? Unfortunately birds are incredibly well at hiding illnesses. This helps them survive in the wild as prey animals. A bird showing visible symptoms is probably more sick than you think. It's not always the case, but still something that needs to be looked into. I hope your baby will be okay

I have noticed some droppings on my birds now and again.

Whenever I do I give them this for a week mixed into the seeds I give them:

After that week I put this in the water for 2 days:

I can't promise your budgie will be allright, but I do notice the difference after this.

Also (and I do this all year round) every month I add this to the water for 2 days:

It's apple vinegar. dosage : 20cl to 2l of water. (metric, as it should be all around the world :lol: )

totally agree! Erik lives in Mexico so there is a good chance he knows what you talking about :)

How's your budgie doing Erik? I really hope he got some medical help and doing better

Thank you all, but, he died the day after I posted this, in the morning.

Did you buy the budgie the same place as the lovebird?

I'm sorry to hear about that loss. Do you also have a baby cockatiel?
