Symptoms of obesity in pet birds

Since the status of pets is getting higher and higher, few people worry about pets running out of food. But another problem arose. More and more pets are getting fatter now. It is also in the wild that in addition to eating enough, there will be enough exercise. After entering the family scene, you will not worry about eating or wearing. Not only cats and dogs, but pet birds are getting fatter. But in fact, this is a disease, that is, bird obesity. Not only does it affect the normal activities of birds, but it also poses a great threat to the health of birds, just like obesity poses a threat to humans. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of obesity in birds with Boqi Xiaobian.

  1. The body type is rich. The symptoms of obesity in birds are actually quite obvious. Many sick birds appear to be very rich, and the obesity on the thighs, chest and other parts is more prominent, which can be seen directly, especially the abdomen.
  2. Chest tightness and rapid heartbeat. Obese birds are generally much larger than their flock. The belly of these birds is round, and the number of breaths will increase, the heartbeat is faster and stronger, and there is a sound when listening to the trachea.
  3. Easy to fatigue and slow reaction. Obese birds were often fatigued, had reduced activity, increased sleep time, and often stood still and moved half a beat slower than normal birds.
  4. Cause bacterial infection. Obese birds have a much higher prevalence than normal birds, and are prone to infectious diseases such as viruses and bacteria, and their healing ability is also worse than that of normal birds. Many other bird diseases are easily cured, but it takes a long time to recover.
  5. Infertility or low egg production. Excessive obesity will also cause the female bird to lay eggs significantly less, and may even cause no eggs to be laid after mating, and constipation symptoms will also appear.

In these cases, remember to help the bird lose weight, otherwise obesity will have a particularly great impact on the bird’s health. Don’t think that it is good to keep your pet full. Protecting its health is also your obligation.
