Not a Pet Question?

Question

My Peachface Lovebird has begun to sound like a person with a bad cold. I tried moving him to a corner where he doesn't get any breeze when we open the door, but it did not change. Please help.

Answer

He may have an upper respiratory infection and they require antibiotics to recover. I would keep him in a warm area with his cage partially covered until you can get him in to a vet. I would do that tomorrow.
