Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

A bird that is fluffed up, lethargic, and quiet is often a sign of illness. Birds tend to hide their symptoms until they are very unwell, so this behavior warrants immediate attention. They might be trying to conserve body heat due to a fever or weakness. Ensure the environment is warm and quiet. Without a proper diagnosis, it's hard to tell the exact cause, but it could range from infections to internal organ issues. You should seek veterinary attention promptly for a bird exhibiting these signs. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
