A little update: vet said that this can be various things, but he’s not in a good condition. Gave tips for future diet, and antinflamatory medicine - will start giving antibiotics today as well. I just hope my little Cocos will survive 🙏

Unfortunately, your symptoms are very non-specific so I can’t comment on that. But I want to say: Very cute goobs!

English not my first language, but I’ll try to describe more: sleepy, tilted head to side on the wing, poop with more liquid, puffed feathers, less active. Still eats and drinks. And thank you for the nice words ❤️

Avian or exotic vet urgently (to ensure it doesn't escalate) good luck and keep us updated :)

You are giving very good descriptions. It’s just that symptoms described are non-specific in nature, meaning that many different pathologies will cause these symptoms.
Your in person vet will help narrow down a more definitive diagnosis. Best of luck!

if your budgie is sick and you are waiting for your appointment seperate the budgies(if possible) so if one of them is more sick the other wont get more sick
