Hi my 15 day old indian ring neck parrot is vomiting. We're feeding him a formula. He's not eating any food and less active as before. His Crop is empty as well It's been a week since we brought him from the breeders. Can you tell what should be done.

If Bruno is unable to keep any food down, is vomiting, and won't eat, it is best to seek care from a local avian veterinarian ASAP. It is possible there is something obstructing the crop, an underlying illness, parasites, infection, or physical deformity that is preventing Bruno from being able to eat properly. A complete exam is needed in person to figure out the cause. If he is housed with any other birds, moving him to a separate hospital cage that is kept warm may help reduce stress, but veterinary care is required to figure out the cause.
