Question re. Canary
Hi, I have a canary that has had a slightly swollen lower section and poop staying on its bum. I took the canary to the vet who did not hear anything untoward when listening with the stethoscope. My bird is still eating and drinking normally and taking probiotics as recommended by the vet. I have tried to remove the fecal matter from the bird using a warm compress, but this has not worked
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you


Both my husband and I enjoy the wild birds that live on or visit our farm. We have lots of natural food sources and feeders for them.
I raise canaries and finches in a heated birdroom in our shop. Most of the birds go to 2 outside aviaries (May to October).
