Hello Friends,
I'm new to this website and all this process of raising up baby cockatiels !

I have a baby cockatiel which is around 4 weeks ! he was in the nest box then suddenly his parents kicked him out or he left the nestbox I donno what happened but he was out of the next box to the ground of the cage which is covered with papers......

I heard a sound of something crawling on the papers of the cage n when I went to check I saw it was my baby ... when I put it back in the nest box I came back after minutes n saw him thrown outside again !

I feel too sad for him !!

The bad thing about it is that he is TOTALLY UNABLE TO STAND ON FEET ! he keeps on flipping over n laying on his tummy as a dead thing ... I'm probably sniffing that he is going to die .. it's been hours n he is in the same condition ! I thought about feeding him with a syringe but I failed he refused to eat ... knowing that his stomach is not so empty ..

It's torturing me to see him suffer like that and I can do nothing about it knowing though we have no vets here !

What do u think this could be ??

PLEASE I NEED AN ANSWER THIS IS TOO URGENT

Poor tiel ...

I feel so sorry for her .. There is probably something wrong going in the nest, when i tipped it a couple of times today to get the parents out of the nest box, i saw a worm falling down ! the reason why I didn't change the nest box is that the pervious owner told me:
It's not good for them !! and I believed it ! I couldn't believe it would be that much nasty that worms would attack it ! I bought another nest box ! but I'm not sure if i can start changing it coz they are sitting on eggs ! and the parents are exchanging the turns to sit on it while the other one eats .

P.s. I can't remove the top part of the nest and see what's going inside.. that's how their nest box is designed and it's annoying ...

I wanna change the nest box so bad ! I dont want diseased babies this time !! I will feel so bad if i lose another one or couple of ones this time especially after the loss of Kiki and Tiki ...

I'm lost ...

Thanks to all of u

I replaced the Old Nest Box with a New one now it's nice n clean !
The Old Nest Box was pathetically nasty ! N yeah I saw two little worms dropping from it I quickly threw it away ... First I hanged the new nest box to the other side of the cage then I came to drive the parents out of the nest box .. I moved the 4 eggs to the new one n then left them ... after 15 minutes the Dad went into it n then the mother as well I was so happy !!

But ..
Today I saw unusual attitudes from the mother like a weird movement with the neck n her eyes are not wide open as before ! as if something is crawling in her body n she is feeling annoyed about it... So now the mother is not healthy ..

What do I do about it ? I serve them a mixture of the food they like or those kinds I hear they're good for cockatiels even though they don't even touch some of them but I just do it hoping one day they change their mind ;/ ..

a cockatiel breeder friend of me advised me to put a Tetracycline 100ml pill in their water bowl and change it for the next day, But I don't know if it has side effects or negative effects on the birds if they r healthy already or it would be the wrong medicine for the case ..

I'm sorry I know I should ask a Vet about this .. But the huge problem here that we don't have Vets in the city !!! and "IF" I find a Vet he will apply "A Chicken"'s rules on a "Cockatiel" bcoz they both have wings XD ...

Noooooooooooooooo ..............
They both left the nest box !! n each egg is thrown on a side .... Feeling so unlucky ...
N the worst is that the mother is sick .... I'll post some photos...

I didn't put alot of bedding due to their last nest box I thought they would be more comfortable like the last one n they r used to that

 

[Kiki]

The mother doesn't stop eating ;/ ... Nd I see something weird around her Mouth as if she ate something wet n now it dried ! ... Her eyes are still the same ..

I think she needs to do a poop .. she z not...

N the father is inside the nest box .. u think the eggs died after they left them for around an hour ? I think yeah

 

[Kiki]

I think she is suffering from constipation ...
Is there anyway that I can help her out ? any kind of food that might be helpful?

 

[Kiki]

the friend of me insisted to put the tetracycline pill in the water n I did .. she drank it several times but I cleared the water bowl IMMEDIATELY when I read ur post !! I think it's a yeast problem !! I put bollied eggs, celery , sometimes wet bread , but they eat none of those but the Decent Diet I put only ...

Now the mother is just eating she doesn't stop eating !! n still the same condition .. I hope the medicine I put doesn't affect on her ... I'm not feeling good about it !

Do I go to the pharmacy for the probiotics or acidopholis ?
I'll do that ! I hope it's gonna work ! her beak is way sticky I donno why the food is stuck to her beak ! I think I need to bring her out n clean it !

P.S. she is not doing a poop ! only little tiny white drops !!

and yes I got those bugs in their ex nestbox .. n I'll increase the bedding once the father leaves the nest box to eat.. the mother doesnt get to the nest box ..

 

[Kiki]

Ok I couldn't find the probiotic n acidophollis in the pharmacies ! they even haven't hear about probiotics ;/

any alternatives? like a natural alternative or something ? I'm too worried about my birdy ..

 

[Kiki]

Ok what u think about Vit.E and Vit.C ??

 

[Kiki]

They actually doesn't eat bread, eggs n such similar food ! they r stuck on the seeds !!!
from tiiiiiiiiiiiime to time the father gets some bread !

Acidophollis Capsules !! The pharmacies doesn't even know what I'm talkin about ! they are correcting it with FOLIC ACID ???

This is so annoying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kiki]

No we don't have ...

What about Yogurt ? or I got Yeast Pills I can melt in water .. is it going to help somehow ? which one could be better ?

 

[Kiki]

Great ! thanks alot !! I'll dissolve the yeast pill into the water ....
But would they have side effects on the male? If I dissolved the pill into the water bowl n left it there for both ?
How often do I change the water ? N for How long should I keep it there?

Thanks in advance

 

[Kiki]

Before ur reply I did it, n I tasted the water it was totally normal !
But I dissolved it into a half bowl of their water ! I was too scared that It would be strong !

The mother had some, n drank the water ! now she is in the nest box ! for a while ! hopping she starts to feel better ... I donno ...

Thanks alot Srtiels for all ur replies n time ! Appreciate it
