GeeGee died Sunday. Thanks for the responses but we have no clue why a four-year old bird would die so suddenly. We've had other birds that lived 10-12 years.

Answer 1

call the vet asap and in the mean time put some lime juice in his water it will help him poo

Answer 2

I agree with the previous answer... anything unusual like that should be checked out. I found this on a website for you to look at also.

CONSTIPATION

Birds, especially parrots, housed in a too-small area have a great tendency to become constipated. Insufficient activity, too-fat or too-sweet food and eating too much are also causes. If the droppings are expelled with some difficulty and are dry, large and hard, you can assume the bird is constipated.

First, consider whether the bird's menu is in order: adding greens and fruit is advisable, as is adding some Epsom or Glauber's salt to the drinking water. It is more effective to put salts into the beak with a medicine dropper. A small amount of an oily laxative, obtainable at any good drug store, dissolved in the drinking water or administered with a plastic dropper can bring about a noticeable improvement: raper seed rubbed in grease can also do wonders,

Another good "old" remedy is to add ten drops of syrup of buckthorn to the cage' s water cup.

A good general rule is that any bird not feeling up to par should be immediately separated from the other birds, and should not be returned until It Is completely cured.

Answer 3

If he has blockage, and cant seem to poop, take him to a vet asap. Abnormal stool can be common if you change their diet, but if its got blockage, or is gooey, its most likely sick. Birds are vulnerable and hide it well, but abnormal poop can be a Great sign of sickness. I would take him or her to a vet ASAP. Hope it goes well.
