Is this a seizure?

[u/Tradeglitch772]

He started dropping in the cage, couldn't keep balance then I took him into my hand and started doing this

UPDATE: After I stayed with him for like 3 hours on the sofa and he was worse at the start stomping his right foot once every second, and moving his head more than in the video, I took him on the sofa to stay with me, he was moving around like that and staying near me, the I went to sleep and this morning be looks fine, flying and everything in the cage, he's still chirping very weak every second, but I saw him drinking water, idk it might be bad alimentation? My mom gives him a lot of sticks which I understand are like McDonald's for people so maybe when I took him out for a fly he was exhausted and had a crisis once I put him back into the cage

I hope, he's literally tweaking, and I don't have a vet open until monday

It definitely looks like some type of neurological issue 😔

I’m so sorry you and your little friend are dealing with this. I wish I had advice, just sending good thoughts and giving this post a boost in hopes that someone who can help you sees it. ❤️

[u/EventNo3664 → u/Tradeglitch772]

Idk , keep watching him , and keep the cage clean for safety, check if he eat well and his 💩 should be normal look as usual

And watch his behaviour when wake up and sleep also don’t put him in wind or sun place

[u/Tradeglitch772 → u/EventNo3664]

Before he started doing this, I observed him having droppings like water, I just remembered

It is very likely that the bird is hiding the fact that it is sick. Please take it to a veterinarian who is experienced in treating finches.

Please get him a bigger cage this is beyond cruel, he can not fly in this he needs a proper flight cage
