Signs of Illness...a game to help new bird owners!

[birdpalace]

Hi y'all, as you all probably know, a big time cause of bird deaths are caused by an uneducated owner that doesn't know the signs of illness for their bird.

We have this "game" over at ChirpieBird, and I thought that it was a great way to pool all our knowledge together for the benefit of new bird owners, and our list is going pretty good. So if you're a new bird owner or any bird owner for that matter, and think your bird has one of these signs, call your avain vet immediately! Don't wait!

So, what you do, is think of one sign of illness, number it accordingly and post it Try not to repeat something

I hope that a game in the Budgie Illness section isn't against the rules.
