Zippi & Drummer Cockatiels I live in Wales uk My name is Jan	Can anyone tell me what causes seizures in parrotlets? Is it down to the breeding? Ive never questioned it before, but a lot of our birds seem to suffer with it.

We had a full necropsy done and they couldn't find anything wrong with him, so we'll never know :(

It's not something I knew about before, but since reading that page it's clear now that one of my (late) budgies suffered a seizure on at least one occasion. I thought he'd died but on closer examination saw he was still breathing. I left him completely alone (not wanting to scare him unduly) and he made a full recovery within 5 minutes. A few years later we found him dead one morning, whether it was from another seizure we'll never know :(

Black Headed Caique, Black Cheeked Lovebirds, Goldfinch and Linnet Mules I live in London	Coco, my breeding celestial dilute hen has had a seizure while I was away last week, typical!! Problem is she has 5 babies in the nest box; luckily male has been feeding them no problem; she seems to be better now but she cannot fly very well and has problems perching. If I handle her she turns the head around, so sad to see her like this. I hope she gets better yellow1 Stef
