6 signs before your parrot dies

As a parrot approaches the end of its life, they may experience some physical and behavioral changes. Here are some common signs of death in a parrot:

1. Behavioral changes: Parrots may exhibit reduced activity, sluggishness, or limp behavior. They may spend more time in the cage or lying flat on the bottom and no longer be as active as they once were.

2. Loss of appetite: Parrots may lose interest in food, refuse to eat, or only take in very small amounts of food. They may stop eating favorite foods or start pecking at non-food items.

3. Difficulty breathing: Parrots may experience shortness of breath, wheezing, mouth breathing, or difficulty breathing. This may be due to body failure.

4. Ruffled Feathers: Parrots may have ragged, fluffy, or lethargic appearance. They may stop doing their usual preening, and their feathers may become dry, loose, or lose their luster.

5. Abnormal posture: Parrots may exhibit abnormal postures, such as drooping body, drooping wings, or tilting head back. This may be caused by physical weakness or discomfort.

6. Decreased socialization and interaction: Parrots may show reduced interest in socializing and interacting with humans or other parrots. They may become silent, withdrawn, or avoid people.

It’s important to note that these signs are not absolute and may vary from parrot to parrot. If you observe the above signs in your parrot, it is best to have your veterinarian evaluate and diagnose you to ensure that it is receiving the appropriate care and attention.
