Offer half a grape. It will provide quick energy and a bit of hydration. Follow with some unflavored PediaLyte to maintain hydration. To get him to eat, offer soft foods, warm foods, treats, etc. Scrambled egg, pasta or cooked rice are popular choices. It is critical to diagnose and treat the cause of the diarrhea. This may require an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth.

Ideally, he should be seen by your veterinarian. Diarrhea in birds can quickly lead to dehydration. Mitthu may need subcutaneous fluids for treatment. You can offer a commercial electrolyte replacement beverage and feed a quality pelleted diet. The pellets can be soaked with warm water to make a mash or paste which he may readily eat.
