MilkRemove it
Remove milk from the cage, play stand, floor, or treat dish. Offer clean water and return to the normal species-appropriate diet. Call an avian veterinarian if the bird already ate a meaningful amount or seems unwell.
Do not improvise
Testing a smaller amount. Mixing it into chop or seed to see if the bird tolerates it.
When to call
- Appetite change, vomiting or regurgitation, droppings change, weakness, balance trouble, breathing change, or fluffed posture.
Useful tools for a clean reset
Three optional storage, cleanup, or serving tools. They are not treatment and do not make this item suitable for feeding.
