Fever

[Verena]

Hallo,

 

Does anyone know how I can tell whether my CAG has a fever?

 

And why would his beak be hotter than normal?

 

I appreciate you help!:dry:

Is your bird acting sick? Is he sitting in one place, not active, not eating? Is his poop normal? If there are any signs of him being ill, he should be examined by a vet experienced with parrots asap.

 

Thie boy temperature is higher than ours, and sometimes the beak can feel warm in comparison. If he is acting sick at all though, he should be seen by a vet.

If you have any reason to suspect that your bird is sick you should take it in to see an avian vet ASAP. They do have a higher body temperature than we do but if you question it at all please seek help.

Good point Judy, If you have the slightest dought you need to take him to see the vet A.S.A.P. No questions asked. A fever is a sign of infection and needs to be treated.
