Birdie is sick again

Birdie got sick during the past two to three weeks, first it started with a cold and she was inactive. i rinsed the hardened mucus near her nostrils everyday,such as my previous blog articles we don't have any vets in Maldives so its a tough challenge for me to treat her.after giving medicines available here the cold was better but then something weird happened. the pink area under the lower beak got swollen like a bubble.i ve never seen any case like this before and was in need of urgent help from any vet. so i wrote for an advise, as follows:

Hello! The expert can't answer your question.

Your Question was:

i have a Congo African Grey.we dont have any vets where i come from.please advise why the pink area under the beak is swelling like a bubble and advice any common treatment that i can give.

please visit my blog to learn more

Following is the reason:

-- Even a vet wouldn't be able to treat their own bird at home. Unless you are equipped to do a needle biopsy and X-ray to determine what kind of growth or 'bubble' this is, and take a culture to see if it grows a bacteria, I'm afraid that you can't do this on your own.

===
If someone is breeding these birds and selling them, then there's a vet who is treating them. Birds that have an expected lifespan of 65 years cannot possibly thrive without having a doctor.

Just like you can't have a baby and expect it to live a long, healthy life without a doctor's visit now and then.

its understandable and i do agree there's a need for proper check up for birds like mine.but unfortunately the situation where avian medical advise is impossible here in the Maldives, we have to rely on own research and hope for the best. i am certain 100% that there aren't any veterinarians here in the Maldives. all breeders rely on their past experiences to treat these birds. i am really trying to find whats causing this problem in Birdie. she eats well talks and is active but why is this part of the bird swollen up, is it something i did wrong mistakenly? i m just concerned so much about this and will not stop until i find a treatment that works for my bird.

i don't have anything against the response given to me by allexperts.com, due to my situation i m just a guy who wants to help others like me who doesn't have the opportunity to do any research. modern training and caring techniques were introduce in Maldives recently, people here are now aware that its not just a bird in a cage, it has its own needs as well.

i will keep updating for the benefit of my friends who reads my blog.
