Hi. Welcome to Auspet. I don't post in the bird forum, but I saw your post in the general forum and thought I might be able to help. Here is a link you may want to check out. Perhaps it will help. I hope your bird will be okay.

Hi for the first few days after bringing the bird home you will find that she is very quiet and does not do much this is till they adapt to there new surroundings.

Providing her poop is not very watery then there is no need for concern unless she does not eat for more than 48hours.
If you are still worried she may have a virus or illness then a quick call to an avian vet will put your mind at ease...

Things to look out for..

Very watery poop.
Not eating or drinking for more than 48hours.
Sitting constantly with there feathers fluffed up at all times even when you approach the cage.
Any discharge from the eyes or nose.

Good luck and keep us posted of how she is getting on.

hopefully she is just acclimating to your home...most pets do this.

 

Yes she does have watery poop but she is not fluffed up shes just looking at us............i dont think she ate though i was sleeping so i dont know she did not drink im ganna hold the bird food and the water on her maybe she will drink.

 

nope she did not want to eat she just runs away from it

 

Given her a couple days, every single bird I bought at a pet shop is like that. However, if after a couples days she still persists then post again and update us, o.k!

 

Thanks guys i put a mirrior up so if she dont eat or drink ill post again but she did chirp

 

She seems to like the music i play on my computer............lol

 

its been 2 days she still did not eat.

 

Ok she just took a sip at her water

 

I don't know what to say, cause I never see my birds drink but they do drink so hopefully she will be alright!

 

Sounds like she is settling in now so you will find she will be eating and drinking well in a few more days good luck and hope all goes well.
