hi, for the past 2 days my bird looks abnormal. the tail is down and the back where the bone meets tail is up. is the bird sick??? can i get some help.. thanks.

ps, he looks weak and doesnt want to do much. but when i open the loft door to check up on them he starts making mating noises.

Sounds that way--it's usually a symptom of abdominal pain. We sometimes call that "lobster tail". Do you keep any medications? Where, basically, are you in case we've got resources in your area?

Are you positive this is a cock bird? If there is a chance that it is a hen, it may be egg bound or getting ready to lay an egg.

Well, I don't know that you need any medications, I'm just asking if you have any. It just helps to know what all directions a person can jump if necessary. Can you post a picture of the bird?
