My bird is hiding and not eating. Does my bird need a vet visit?

Question

My bird, Karu hasn’t been acting himself. He’s been hiding under his food and water bowls and doesn’t seem to be eating much. It’s concerning me and I need to no what to do to help my baby. Also, sorry about the messy cage in the pictures, I’m planning on cleaning it soon. Pet's info: Bird | Lovebird | Male | 0.1 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Karu and including photos. There are many things that can make lovebirds ill: metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), infections (bacterial, viral, fungal), malnutrition and husbandry problems, just to name a few. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid but is not in lieu of a veterinary examination. Good luck.
