sickness.

[kipper]

hi, let young birds out this dinner time , second time out . they went on the garden and were pecking on ground about one hour later were vomiting . they have been a pic of health , have cleaned all dirty food out ,changed water , cleaned loft again . they seam to have settled a bit , any advice apreciated.

[gangster]

only a guess but have you sprayed anything on the garden??

[kipper]

have only lived here 10 months , i dont know if the previuos owner did.

[pjc]

did you notice them pecking any particular plants as certain plants will cause sickness?

[kipper]

they were picking at plants , some purple coloured ones a bit like nettles. just had a look at them , they are not being sick anymore but just look a bit sorry for themselves.

[pjc]

hopefully they have cleaned there system out but it would be an idea to remove the plants they have been pecking at to prevent it happening again.

Give them some greens in the loft to peck at as they may be lacking in something

[kipper]

thank you for the help .  hope the year goes well for you .

[kirky]

thay could have picked up small stones but could be the plants if thay do it next time out try and see what thay bring up, i put easybed in my yb loft last week some ybs eat it then were sick on the perches have not done it since.

[kipper]

they brought up corn , i did find some bits of food that had spilled the other day.

[gooner]

hi kipper m8,,,right m8 you hvent told the lads on ere were you live so i will...he lives in the country on a farm,,,right next to the fields,,,so it could possibly be over spray from the tractors spraying the fields,,,thats just a thought kipper....all the best with them this year m8....thats if you race them...or are you still putting them to stock???????? cheers m8....mark.. ;) ;) ;) ;)

[john nico]

i now what you are saying mark but with them spuwing corn up it sounds  like they carnt digest there food so they are going to be sick. one min they a fine the next min they just go of thats y/b for ye

Check out what is growing in your garden against lists of plants harmful to birds. There are a few posted on the forum, this link gives one of them:-

Had you fed them just prior to them spewing?

Were the grains they spewed up swollen or still in their solid state?
