My parakeet has not eaten or drank from its containers for three days I tried putting the container up to it but it still won't eat it won't even eat the spray miliit.

Vet Suggestion for a Parakeet that Will Not Eat

Hi Shayennah,

The list of potential problems that could cause a parakeet not to eat is quite long, and I can’t determine which condition might be most likely without first examining your bird.

Not eating for three days could be life-threatening to a small bird, even if the underlying problem is treatable. Please see your veterinarian immediately.

If you do not have a veterinarian for your parakeet, the Association of Avian Veterinarian’s website has a “Find a Vet” feature that can help.

Regards,

Jennifer Coates, DVM
