My mother past away last month and I had just made a big road trip to Sacramento, California from my Aberdeen, Washington residence (I live here at) and back a couple weeks ago. I took my birds with me on this trip. I think it made them catch colds with an allergy and I don't know how to give them a remedy for it at the mean time. I am right now trying to find something to help them get better, but I don't know what. They act fine for most of the time and then out of the blue act sick sneezing with epic spells of it for an hour, until another time. I don't want any more of what I experienced with my other birds like the bird I already had with a tumor effecting its repository and it died on me in October.

Sorry to hear of your mother passing away Michael...:hug:

Are your bird's molting/preening a lot ? How about the humidity level in your home, is it very dry ? Do you see any nasal discharge, see any rapid breathing, or hear any clicking sounds in their breathing ? It certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to get them in to the avian vet, definitely should if any of those other sign's are present.

As for molting/preening? I see it so frequently that it doesn't look out of place to me. I have no idea what my humidity is. I sense my place fairly dry, but can get the humidity from my windows outside sometimes. I live in a wet climate. Get the rain here a lot. Right now they are looking really fine. No nasal discharging is coming from my birds. No rapid breathing. They get their rapid breathing after they fly around a lot. But not when they are relaxed. I don't hear any clicking. My new bird I hear some rasping in the throat at times. (I don't have that much money for the Veterinarians. Only if I knew they would really do me some help, but by experience they have only been wasting my money in the past. I need to be very conservative with my financial situation. I live on a budget that makes me run empty on my money monthly.)

My birds are not having this problem all the time. They are Epics and come on out of the blue for 5 to 15 minutes ... Once (1) or Twice (2) or 3 times out of the day. Yesterday they had no Epics. As if nothing was bothering them at all. My new bird had (1) this morning and now is fine. It only lasted 3 minutes. I just want to prevent anything and not let it get worse. I did get this Package of Oasis Probiotic for the road trip. But not every day. This is expensive stuff and not a lot of it. Only 6 blue water tablets only good for a week or two. Costing $18.00 for it. I am going to look into a Steamer for my Apartment and for me also. It's Pending for now.
