I just noticed, about 20 mintues ago that my tiel is trying to make a bowel movement, but can't. He's trying over, and over again... but, nothing is happening for him. He's over 16 years old, and I've never seen this with him. Is there anything I can do for him? It's really breaking my heart (he's my baby...), and I feel there's nothing I can do for him...
I read on the internet to give him a warm bath, he won't settle down for one unless he wants it. So, that's not really an option.
I also want to know how long I should wait until I think about taking him to an avian vet, and if I should be worried... he seems fine otherwise... but, he just can't stop trying and pushing... I just changed the paper on the bottom of his cage, so I can check to see if anything is "happening".
Please.... anyone with any suggestions and experience let me know....
Thanks,
Susan

No, he does not like raisins... how do you know about the epsom salts? ~ Thanks

Please, please get him to a bird vet.
May God watch over him and you.
