For a couple of days, hooty my owlface has been a bit fluff up.She is eating drinking and exercising normally, i haven't gotten to vets to get moxidectin yet? Could it be a parasite?? :worm:

Hi Steph,if it is eating and acting normal i wouldn't be medicating it.It is normal for birds to fluff up during cold weather,it helps to keep the warmth in and during warmer weather you will find they will be in tight feather to keep the warmth out.
A sick bird can become more stressed if you medicate it so if your bird is acting normal,i supose if you want to worm/baycox it you should do them all. Craig
