We got some new birds yesterday, young gouldians, and one of them is not travelling well this morning. laboured breathing, fluffed up feathers, listless, eyes closed. We have just put him in the hospital cage (which isn't even finished yet!) to try and warm him up. Is there anything else we can do to help him? we think it was shock from being caught and moved around yesterday. Also noticed that one of the other birds is slightly off colour but nothing like this one. Should we put that one in the hospital cage too? or best to let him be and see if he picks up in the quarantine cage with the others?
Thank you for any advice.

Cannot reccomend highly enough poly aid and or spark and think it is a must have when bringing home new birds , some of them just dont travel well .
Def put in hospital cage with some low heat and quiet even bring the other one in as well , better to be safe than sorry

Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue.
