The cardinal would occasionally regurgitate and feed the blackbird. Anyone see anything like this

Sick Bird-diaharrea?
In category Birds & Birding
Written by Nick

Hey.
I have a pet parakeet. Lately hes had some problems with his droppings. I haven't changed his diet or anything...His droppings look gooey and soak way through the paper. He also sits puffed up with closed eyes. His droppings are gathered in one place. But they've always been like that. The only difference now is that they are gooey and much resemble diaharrea. Please help ASAP.
Thanks,
M
