My poor budgie

[altara]

Hi everyone
I would like a little advice about my budgies,I have four budgies in a big cage indoors,three are really doing well.but i have one that at first he was really active playing with his toys and love bells and balls,but yesterday i noticed when the others flys out of there cage he didnt he would not come out he just stopped in his cage I thought he must of hurt his wing but i cannot see anythink there.
I t is very unusual because he used to come on my finger when i have millet,but know he will come on when i just pick him up and lets me cuddle him and he is always eating too and he is putting on weight which until yesterday i thought he was slim.
i was wondering maybe he is not a male could he be female because he is going round and he likes to be on the floor.
I might take him or her to the vet to have her/him checked out.
I have included some photos of him or her .
Thanks all

There appears to be some bad bacteria building up , take it to a vet asap

I agree with Barry, he looks like a very sick little budgie. And from what you have described he needs to see a vet urgently. They will hide illness from us normally so are already seriously ill when we see signs like these. Hopefully he will respond well to some antibiotics though. I do hope he's feeling better soon!

Hope your little one is ok when you get him to the vets

But just for future reference how can you tell that its a bad bacteria build up. Is it the way he is puffed up?

It's probably because of the way he has blown up like a balloon, Serz.

Only my very beat thoughts and prayers for you and the little one. Hopefully, the vet will have the answers.

looks like your bird has the same illness as my Mika, fingers crossed our birds can pull through this.
