Before doing anything else, make sure to disinfect your hands and the area where your bird is kept. There are some home remedies you can try that may help improve your pet’s condition. For example, a hot water compress may help reduce swelling. Additionally, you can administer electrolyte and vitamin solutions via an oral syringe two times a day to keep it hydrated and nourished. In cases of mild illnesses, it may also help to place the bird in a clean humidity-chamber for up to 30 minutes per day; be sure that it has lots of ventilation so as not to overheat the bird. Lastly, avoid medicating your pet without consulting your veterinarian first as this could do more harm than good. Make sure you know what kind of diseases are potentially dangerous for birds before taking further actions; seek veterinary advice if required.

The best way to treat a sick pet bird without taking it to a veterinarian is to first provide appropriate housing and care, like ensuring the bird has fresh water and suitable environmental conditions. Next, closely observe your pet bird for any changes in activity level or diet and note any changes in its health. You can also try giving it homemade food or foods suitable for birds which may help nurse the bird back to health (such as cooked brown rice, scrambled eggs, cooked chicken). Finally, if you think your pet needs more serious medical attention you may opt for online veterinary consultation which gives real-time advice from a veterinary professional who can diagnose and recommend treatments over video or by phone call.
