i have a bird that ate like crazy yesterday and seemed fine but the thing is he didnt feed his young and his crop is super full of food and he drinks alot of water... but the thing is sometimes he tilts his head back and moves his neck side to side then after his neck feathers get puffed up.. i gave him antibiotics but what can it be and what should i do?? i feed him pellets...

Sounds like Canker Victor, grab the bird and check it's throat. If you can see a build up of seed in it's throat it would be Canker. If so, try and remove some of the seed with a curved piece of wire but be careful not to scratch it's throat. Then you will have to get some Canker medication. Here in Australia we use Canker tabs which contain 25mg of Metronidazole.
Good luck!
Ronnie.

If he keeps twisting the neck almost 360 and runny crap..probably PMV...Isolate quick and put on wire so you can see the manure..and monitor the water..not much to treat with..Baytril but that is not a cure all...Try to keep it away from your other birds..disenfect your waters...rmember that pellets will make for mild runny manure...MILD...not serious stuff

Another thought..if you use cider vinegar..use sparingly..you can overdose the birds..two years ago I did and had 3-4 that I thought were gone...clean pure water saved the day.

I havent ever had cancer so wouldnt no what it looks like.
Anyways I always check my birds over and if I seen somith out of the ordernery bell my friend.
about 4 weeks ago I checkd the pairents and all the young.
Just one young bird had somthing in the back of its throat and I mannagd to remove it with a bit of a point from a loose feather on the fllor.
It lookd like a piece of squashed maple pea but was connected to the side of the throat.
after that it was all good again untill a week later and the same thing on another young bird.
I have never seen this before so its abit funny twice in so many weeks.
I got it away again and the birds are fine.
But I am going to the pigeon store tommoro for s cancer stuff and going to worm my birds also.
Was this cancer??
cheers harrison uk hull.
