Gammas Bearded Babies
Crossing the Road
Idk but she looks so sad...those lil eyes!Beigie is fully recovered, and I moved her out with everyone else a few days ago. There’s been no issues (yet) on her end, but now Nugget is sick.
Everytime. Literally everytime, for 4 years, Beigie gets sick someone else does too. Without fail. Never the other way around, oddly enough. It’s an ongoing joke in my family that she drains the life out of the other birds to fuel herself.
Nugget has been inside for a day or two now. She hasn’t gotten worse, but she’s not better yet, either. She’s barely been eating, but today I made her some wet food with oats, and she ate a decent amount of that. If I can get her to keep eating, hopefully she’ll be okay.
I also have another bird with issues. I have no idea what’s wrong with her, but her face looks swollen? She’s my 4yo Brahma, Molly.
I’ve checked her all over, no bugs of any sort, no stings, nothing in her mouth. She’s still eating, drinking, acting completely normal.
She hasn’t shown any signs of respiratory problems, no sneezing or coughing, but recently one of her eyes has been getting bubbly. None of the other birds have shown any symptoms.
I don’t think it’s new, either. Looking at pictures of her from the last few months, her face slowly gets more swollen.

I’m wondering if maybe it’s allergies? Although that’s not very common, from what I’ve seen. I’ve been researching if benadryl is something I could give her, but so far there’s been some very mixed results. I don’t know what else to try. :/
Hoping she will be ok!
