Did you get this bird from a pet store? If not, from where? Is this the same way she was behaving when you first brought her home or has there been a change over this 5 days? What did they tell you to feed it and what have you been offering? How old is the bird? Is the bird sitting on a perch or on the bottom of the cage or where? Did anyone try to trim it's flight feathers? This extra information will help me give you my best advice. Patricia

Reply to Patricia's Post: Yes I did get this bird at a pet store. And she has been acting like this since I got her. They didn't recommend anything.She has been sitting at the top perch. Only going down to eat. I haven't seen her drink latly. She came with her wings trimed. I think she is about 5 or 4 months old. Please help me 'cause I'm worried!
