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.
