Question

my female african love birds is squeezing her butt on the perch several times a day like she fells itchy. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Check her vent for redness or swelling. Monitor for loose droppings. Submit a sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. If she is of egg laying age, have her physically examined by your vet or an experienced avian vet to diagnose or rule out being egg bound.
