Whereabouts are you bobtail. Someone might be able to recommend a good vet near you, sounds as if you’ve got to move fast on this one.

id see a vet 100 % but if there been poisoned via there corn then best to check there corn , sometimes when safflower and sunflower seeds arent stored right they go mouldy internaly and this can kill your birds so storing corn in a dry place free from damp is a must, the seeds look visabily ok but are mouldy internaly

Quoted from bart


he asked for any idea's that's all people are doing giving idea's/opinions nothing wrong with that but you are correct i would get to a vet asap


Your right, I just find it odd when the only symptom is the birds dying fast and wet droppings we guess the illness when the only sure way is to get it tested as soon as possible

Black minerals are always worth a try till he can get a proper diagnosis.
Good advice.
