An undernourished or malnourished bird cannot be treated with medication (antibiotics, antibactrials or antifungals). Trying to treat them with medication will only aggrivate the condition and kill them quicker. So before putting them on medication house them in a warm cage with heat source. Provided water with electral and handfeed or forcefeed. Plus oil based supplement should be supplemented.
The most common sign of malnutrition / undernourishment is Weight loss, Sharp keelbone - that is Going light / Sukka.

We got through all that storm activity without any losses, so now just drying out. All our birds had an enjoyable shower and are looking top notch. A huge thankyou for all the messages and support we have had over the recent week of rain and flood activity in our area. Thankyou 🙏

DID YOU KNOW THAT BIRDS CAN SUFFER FROM DIABETES
Birds can suffer from diabetes .Diabetes Milletus occurs when the pancreas stop producing enough insulin. Insulin is the hormone which regulates and metabolizes sugar.
The cause of diabetes in birds is different from mammals. When insulin production is too low. In birds there is too much of the hormone Glucagon. The resulting in high blood sugar levels.
Symptoms can range from excessive drinking of water. frequent urination and increased water in droppings.which could be mistaken for diarrhea Birds suffering from Diabetes lose weight, and become thin.mistaken for going light,
Diagnosis is made based on physical examination, blood tests (CBC-complete blood count-and blood chemistry) and urinalysis.
Treatment is a diet low in carbohydrates and sugars. and exercise Dipsticks to measure sugar in the urine can be used. insulin does not work well in controlling glucose levels in birds.
An oral medication called glipizide has proved to be effective. as there is no cure for diabetes, management of diabetes is to be continued throughout for life. Diabetes can occur in any species of bird. But it is very common in Budgerigars, Cockatiels and Toucans, Excessive thirst is a sign of Diabetes. as the body needs to flush its body of excessive sugar..

SOME COMMON BREEDING ISSUES 7.
FERTILE EGGS - DEAD IN SHELL / HATCHING ISSUES.
1. Nutritional Deficiency - A weakened chick will not be able to break through the egg shell on its own.
2. Fluctuating Temperature.- very low temperature will affect the hatching, As chilling will lower the metabolic rate of the chick .
3. Lethal Gene - If happening frequently. Split the pair
4. Bacterial or Viral Infection - The egg could have been infected before it had been laid or after it had been laid
5. Shaking / Vibrations. can cause the death of embryo. Avoid shock.
6. Damaged egg.- If damaged can be saved, Can be repaired by applying nail varnish.over the crack or dent.
7. Low humidity - Egg Membrane drying up and sticking to the chick. Hindering it movement and pipping
8. High Humidity - Chicks sometimes drown in their own fluid. Some are unable to absorb the yoke into the body
