Hi ,

I have a pair of canary ..which i have from past 7 months. From the day i bought female breathes heavily.It looks very healthy,it eats well. how to stop heavy breathing ??

Male does not have this problem ?

I give them very good canary mix , veggies , egg food , multi vitamins.

regards,
Vinay

Heavy breathing can be caused by a few things... dampen the bird's belly feathers and see if she has fat pads that resemble yellow meringue under the skin. Fat pads under the skin can put pressure on the lungs and heart making the bird out of breath easily. Is she more out of breath after moving around?

Next put her close to your ear in a quiet room.... does it sound like ticking of a watch or does it sound wet, sticky. Does she try clearing her throat, beak wiping?

cindy it does not make any sound when I keep it near my ear ...I treat with scatt periodically ....it does not have fat either .it looks slim ...but can see tail bobbing and sleeps sometimes
