What is wrong with my hawk? | is my bird healthy?

Whats wrong with my hawk? Thankfully, nothing, and that’s because I know how to recognise particular conditions such as aspergillosis and coccidiosis. If you own a bird of prey, you have a responsibility to think every day, is my bird healthy. There are many bird of prey diseases you need to be able to recognise so you know when to seek veterinary assistance and keep your bird healthy. You don’t need to be a bird of prey health expert, but performing a simple health check on your bird every day will help you to learn what your healthy hawk looks like and make it easy to spot if your bird is unwell. In this video we cover how to perform a daily health check on your hawk as well as common bird diseases. Common bird of prey diseases include aspergillosis, avian influenza/ bird flu, E. coli, and sour crop. Hawk illnesses to watch out for also includes parasitic infections such as coccidiosis and feather mites. I then go over my tips for finding yourself an avian vet to register your bird with.
Do not use this video to diagnose a problem with your bird! If you have any worries your bird is unwell, contact a vet!

Nice 1 great video as always

Quick Question (LOVE your videos by the way). what solution do you have in the spray bottle that you were spraying the perch with. If it is something you mix yourself, measurements would be appreciated!

[@MercerFalconry]

I use something called F10 disinfectant, it’s completely safe to use around the birds and I even spray their baths with it before I fill them up. There is instructions on the bottle for how much to dilute into water depending on what pathogen you want to kill but I use the strongest which off the top of my head I believe is something like 8ml per litre. It’s a bit pricy but lasts ages and it so useful to have, I honestly don’t know how I would survive without the stuff!

And thanks, I’m happy you enjoy the videos!
