She has been losing a lot of weight out of nowhere. I didn’t quite understand how to feel a bird to tell if it’s underweight until recently, but she’s definitely extremely skinny, frighteningly so. She also just seems lethargic, if she stands still in a spot for more than a few seconds, she starts to fall asleep. She’s been doing this more and more these past few weeks. I used to think she was just tired from being one of my more timid birds, but it’s a constant thing now.

I’ve tried making her special meals that would give her some extra calories and separating her from the other birds to eat in peace since she’s near the bottom of the pecking order, but she doesn’t seem to be putting on any weight. She also eats very slowly for some reason, she’s super picky about everything except bugs.

Can anyone tell me what may be going on with her? I love her so much and I’d hate to see her go.
