I'm sure Barry mentioned something about this in a different thread.

i may be way off here, but trichomonas (canker in birds) give off a fishy smell. This is coming from my pathology lab days. I imagine the organisms are different genus, but they are the same species, so would have many similar traits.

It was canker and all our birds must be treated twice a year with THRICO PLUS

Would this also explain some water dropping as well?
How is canker contracted?
Thanks everyone, sorry for all these questions, it's just when this happens out of the blue it makes me wonder why.

You can use Excel file or printed sheets available with many breeders in UK.
