Bubbly saliva coming out of mouth.

by Jonathan
(Chicago, IL, USA)

My African Grey recently was making a weird sound that I never heard before. When I went to check, he had bubbles or foam coming out of his beak. Kind of a transparent liquid coming out as well, what may this be? And what might be causing this?

Bird with bubbles coming out of mouth
by: Tracie

It could have ingested something toxic or have an infection or disease. Please Find an Avian Vet to examine your bird right away.

Please look at our Toxic / Non-toxic for birds list for more information on potentially toxic items.

If your bird eats colored, or other sugary pellets, then it may have a bacterial infection. Hopefully your bird is eating Harrison's or Roudybush pellets for 80% of it's diet and you are not feeding it table food that is salted and full of chemicals and toxins.

When you visit your avian vet, take with you a list of what you feed your bird and what potential toxic items in your home your bird has had access to.
