Hi,
About 2 years ago I bought a pair of lovebirds (a male fischer and a male peachface). During my vacation I left them in the care of a good friend. When I brought them home, I noticed my fischer's head was tilted a lot of the time and he was losing his balance. I took him to my vet, who said he might be suffering from a concussion. :(
Unfortunately my fischer died just a day ago :very_sad: and now it seems that my peachface is going through a mourning period. I'm trying to give him emotional support by giving him extra treats and spending as much time with him as I can. Nevertheless, he's very quiet and two dark spots have appeared just above his beak. Is anyone familiar with this? :confused:And is there anything else I can do for him during this period? Other than showing these symptoms, he's in a good physical condition; he's going through a severe molt, but he's eating well (extra nutrients) and he's not plucking his feathers. Would it be better to buy him a new mate or give him away (to a lovebird farm) so he can get attached to a new group of lovebirds?
Thanks in advance.
