My cockatiel, who turned one years old about two months ago, has been rufled up all day. Is he sick?? He might be! Most of you will tell me to do a check-up on the vet, but the problem is that vets here in Greece are super unsanitary and if I go for a checkup my cockatiel is bound to get something worse. Moreover, there aren't a lot of aviary nurseries and the ones that do exist, cost a lot and are likely far away. Again, they are unsanitary.
His poop is normal, although I haven't checked up on his weight becuase I don't have the equipment necessary (I am trying to get it, don't worry)
Also I am in the process of changing his diet. Could something in the food ticked him off? Just saying, I washed the food I give him THREE TIMES in BOILING water that would give you 2nd degree burns if you got it on you, two times before chopping and three times after chopping. So far I have tried giving him cucumber, carrot and apple. I literally just started the process, today. I removed the food two hours after. He was fluffy before giving him food. What do I do???
What can I do?? Even after flying a bunch, he is fluffed up as if he is preening himself.
