Today is day 3 of the sickness. This video was taken today morning.

I think she is doing *much* better compared to Sunday night, oh my God that was scary. Her droppings overnight are okay, not the best but doesn't look too concerning.

Previously at rest, she was very loud. Today morning she has been a lot more quieter. Her chest still lets out bubble/crackly sounds but it's definitely no where near as bad as yesterday and the day before. When i grab her to give medicine, the noise is very loud but immediately goes down the second i put her back and has bubble/click instead which is much quieter though still abnormal.

She is not lethargic, she is very very responsive and alert despite all these sounds and sickness. I just wish she wasnt so fussy when grabbing as the noises really scare me.

I rang my exotic vets this morning, also sent an email. I have an appointment with them tomorrow afternoon. They cant do any tests, just physical examination and they will grab her to hear the noise she makes to understand abit more. To do tests such as crop swab she will need to be dropped off in the morning and kept the entire day, but I wasnt sure if its worth stressing her out again. I noticed how loud her breathing gets when shes at the vets or hospital. Also judging by her behaviour today i think its okay to just go for the checkup tomorrow. I really hope these medicines are enough.

Hi, I’d like to ask for some advice. I found this little bird (probably a female canary) outside the company where I work about a month ago. No one around seemed to be missing it, so we took her and bought her a cage. Over the last two weeks, we’ve noticed that she has a bald spot on the back of hers head (I wasn’t able to take any better photos, its much vissible and thiner irl), and there are also quite a few feathers around the cage. I’m planning to get her a bigger cage so she has more room to fly, right now she has a basic, inexpensive one. I’d like some advice is this normal?

I’ve heard they tend to shed feathers, but I don’t like this bald spot on her head. She eats a lot, and until now she’s only eaten seeds, but I’ve already bought her some dietary supplements and am giving her vegetables and fruit. For about these past two weeks, she’s stopped singing, she didn’t sing much before either just occasionally made a sound but now she hardly sings at all, maybe one sound a day.

I’d be grateful for any advice or tips. 

I didnt get time to post this yesterday, but these are the sounds she made when eating all day yesterday. When I grab her, this same sound gets VERY LOUD. I dont believe shes the one making this sound by screaming because it doesnt sound like its from her throat, but from the chest when breathing rate gets high.

Thankfully, today she hasn't been making this sound as much when eating. She can eat a bit more quietly. However this sound still happens when I grab her to give medicine or when she gets stressed when she knows shes about to be grabbed. Once i put her back she doesnt make this sound.

Instead she has a consistent clicking/bubble like sound but this sounds way more quieter and less concerning than the one in video. But overall by what I've seen i think she's getting better, besides this sound when grabbing which freaks me out.

UPDATE: She has barely made this sound while eating today. I think she is slowly getting better. The sounds are still there if I grab her no matter how light (for medicine). And if she flies she can make some effort sounds. She's clearly still unwell, but a lot better than last 2 days. Exotic vet appointment is tomorrow

I've had my pigeon for almost two months now so I'm very new to this. He went through a phase of molting late July to early August, and then stopped shedding for about 2 weeks (his face and neck feathers grew back), and has now started shedding again. Is this normal?
