Hello. I have conure and she has picked up a cough and sneezes about 3-4 times a day. I am not sure what I should do for her. Should I take her to a doctor or let it run its course? Thank you for your advice in advance. Rene'
One of the major causes of bacterial infections in birds is from drinking and bathing in the same water. Your bird should only have water in a dish for 3 - 4 hours max a day. It is best to just put a dish in while you are in the room with the bird. Once your bird bathes remove the dish.
Your bird should be drinking from a water bottle to prevent bacteria from food particles and poop getting in it's eyes, nares and other body openings.
