Other signs of bird illnesses include loss or change of appetite, change in energy level (bird becomes lethargic), fluffy feathers or droopy posture, difficulty in breathing, or unusual discoloration on face, beak, feet or legs.If you notice any behavior that is not normal, do not hesitate to call your vet or local bird store, bird's mask their illnesses. |

| It is very important to bath your bird at least three (3) times a week. Many birds will enjoy a fine mist from a spray bottle.
