Vomiting is a very concerning issue, and if Cutie is unable to keep any food down, is losing weight, or is otherwise showing other signs of illness, seeking veterinary care ASAP (and separating her from your other birds into a hospital cage) is best. Infections, GI issues, parasites, crop issues, etc can all be possible causes.

    Vomiting is not a normal sign in parrots, and if Hong is also seeming to lose her balance, seems disoriented or confused, or is otherwise not acting normally, I would recommend bringing her into a vet ASAP as these are concerning signs. Until you can get to the vet, keeping her in a warm hospital cage with low, flat perches in case she falls, and food and water dishes that are easy to get in and out of can help, however if she is losing balance, disoriented, or can't keep food down, veterinary care is needed.

    I am sorry Joy is not feeling well. Birds can be easily stressed and it is possible the long drive caused her anxiety and stress. I would not recommend separating the two birds because they are use to being today. I would try to decrease any additional stress to Joy. It is hard to say for sure in regards to the vomiting. IF she is in a new cage/with new things she could regurgitating behaviorally to mark things are hers. However if she is in the same cage and with old toys she could be actually vomiting. I would recommend if she continues to vomit/not feel well to take her to a vet to make sure she is doing okay. Changes in diet, location and even climates can cause upper respiratory infections, sinus infections, and other illnesses.. I hope this helps! Thank for using pet coach
