Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Changes in feather appearance, lethargy, and reduced activity are common signs of illness in birds. Budgies, like many prey animals, instinctively hide signs of weakness until they are very sick. It's important to observe for other symptoms like changes in droppings, discharge from nostrils, or difficulty breathing. Any alteration in a bird's normal behavior should be taken seriously. Isolate your budgie from other birds if you have any and keep him warm. You should seek veterinary attention promptly. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
