I would it's better than doing nothing at all.. Cheers and good luck with them Craig

Yeah i couldnt do nothing at all that wouldnt sit right with me .... Thanks for the help


Oh Canary guy seems to be a little more settled now ..... still ticking not to the degree .... slightly able to perch on my fingers *not pushing it as i dont want to stress him more* got some Spark and water into him via blunt needle and syringe ... hes more alert now moving his head to look at things and fluffing trying to get away so well see .... small change but we'll see

With the Canary best suggestion is to leave it in a quite place with heat and some spark and basic seed and hope that when you wake in the morning that it has came good. Problems is that over medicating is just as bad as nit medicating I i have found out of just recent. Ivomec will help with worms and some very basic respiratory issues but I don't believe this is from them? Unfortunately this isn't a very good day for you with 3 birds purchased and all three not very healthy. When birds are transported from one environment to another this will stress them out and any underlying issues will come out. As for the feet of the gouldians I don't have a clue but Buzzard and crocnshas comments are a good start.

Goodmorning guys ....
Just a Quick update for those of you that helped me out yesterday ,,,the Male Gouldian is still sore footed i'm guessing that will take a while to heal up two of his nails are blackened so i guess he will loose those ,,,, I did notice the female that was with him is also missing a toe nail tiny blackened end on the toe but the foot isn't worrying her what so ever .....


Now the Canary Good news on that front as well .... NO ticks at the moment this morning hes Still weak not as strong bodied as he should be but a vast improvement to yesterday! So I'm guessing I just keep doing what I'm doing thanks again for the help!!!

So glad to hear that the birds are on the improve, thanks to your administrations and the advise given by some helpful members.

Still away to go .... But hes alert now and try's to stand and lefts his head no twitching / ticking / seizing so i can just see what happens Keel on with the Spark and make sure hes getting his required fluid intake a day and go from their but today he looks in better shape not saying he couldn't drop dead as yet .... When I look at the Canary ive noticed hes got disfigured flight feathers ??? And now with the seizures has me thinking might have been poor nutrition ?

Sound like a stressful time for you.
Good to hear the birds are on the mend and have found a home with someone to take care of them.
Only suggestion is you keep them in quarantine until they are back to full health and well enough to be treated for parasites before mixing them with others.

Yeah they are in a cage from the others and making sure i wash and stuff between dealing with the different birds

I can only try my best to get them well .... Should have known better still kicking my own butt for it But at lest they have a fighting chance ,,,,,

Ok just a update ,,,, Mr Canary died this afternoon at lest i tried with him .... from what i can make out on his leg band he was about 6 years old ... oh well live and learn .... will keep going with the little Gouldians foot see how he goes

Thats a shame. I know its cold comfort but you did what you could.
