If possible, the cause of the seizure activity should be diagnosed. Afterwards, an effective treatment or control regimen can be recommended. Seizures in birds can be caused by trauma, infection, tumors or neurological disorders. Start a seizure log. Note length of seizures, time of day/night, diet, behavior before/after and any other pertinent information. This may help the veterinarian diagnose the cause. Consider a consult with a veterinary neurologist. If one is not available, the local veterinarian may be able to consult with one via phone after an exam.

Disease affecting the liver or brain could result in seizures. Some birds with atherosclerosis can have espisodes that resemble seizures. You should consult your veterinarian and discuss bloodwork and anticonvulsant therapy.

Thanks for reaching out about Brenda. There are multiple causes of seizures in birds: heavy metal or other toxicities, liver or renal disease, brain masses and idiopathic (meaning unexplained). Some are easily treatable, some are more difficult. A veterinary visit is recommend for diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.
