Hello we went down to the aviary this morning an mumbo our yellow faced blue budgie was on the floor in the quail house clearly not well , he is breathing fast a bit puffy an wet feathers around his beak not sure if wet were he had a drink, my daughter sat down there an watched him for a while when he drinks she says he looks like he has bubbles coming from his beak , he even let her pick him up no fuss just sat in her hands , mumbo is now in a cage inside covered to keep him warm , the aviary is being deep cleaned , any thing else we can do ? for mumbo and the other 9 in the aviary they was all healthy yesterday  mumbos this years bird.

I do not have an answer for you, but I hope Mumbo is feeling better soon. Moving him inside and keeping him warm is about all you can do. Keep us posted. By the way, I love the name Mumbo.

I would get him to a vet as soon as you can and describe these symptoms. Until then keep him warm by placing a hot water bottle underneath his indoor cage and as you have done keep him quiet and covered. Do you have any guardian angel? If not you can get some here

Hope he is ok, let us know how he is x

I am SO sorry. Poor Mumbo, he was loved right to the end and comforted.

It's so sad. I feel for you all x

[chicklett]

Oh no, so sorry for you all, hope all your other budgies be ok x

[tinksmum]

Poor Mumbo, im so sorry to hear this
Fly high little one

So sorry for you all, and that we were not able to help. Rest in peace wee Mumbo.

I would advise that you get all or some of the other birds checked for the more obvious diseases. You don't want this to happen with the rest. This may seem like an odd question, but did Mumbo have a fishy smell about him when he was ill?

[samwiseg]

So sorry for your loss x

[OP]

Sorry you lost your budgie, mainly for the children. It's bad enough for us 'grown ups' but worse for the children. I hope all is well with your other birds.

Hello Hezz  , we didn't notice a smell, why would this of been ?. mumbo got sick really quick through the day , he is now in pets corner in our garden , girls are settling down now ,but our eldest wants to know why she is always with the birds so hard to explain an not be able to do anything ,we only set up in June this yr . Aviary has been thoroughly cleaned we caught all the other birds put them in a cage while we did this pots ,perches, houses, chains all cleaned with a cleaner we got from pet store that claims to disinfect most birdy illnesses ,any remaining seed, iodine blocks, cuttle fish  was thrown away and started fresh. Will be contacting the vet later for a chat at the moment the others seem happy an healthy  lets hope it stays that way.

Rest in Peace, sweet little Mumbo. Keep his cute face and happy song close to your heart, and he will be with you forever. I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you and the girls.
