Watery eye and eye infection

Pigeon Eye Cold, also known as “one-eyed cold” or conjunctivitis, is a common condition in pigeons characterized by inflammation and discharge from the eye. Symptoms include swollen, red, and irritated eyes, often with discharge that can be watery, crusty, or thick and white or tan. Other signs may include sneezing, nasal discharge, and sensitivity to light. 

• Phlegm eye infection

Pigeon eye infections, often manifesting as “phlegm eye,” can cause various symptoms. These include eye redness, swelling, excessive tearing, and a thick, white, or yellowish discharge that may crust over. The affected eye(s) might also appear “stuck shut” in the morning. Other signs include blinking, squinting, cloudy or glassy eyes, and the pigeon may rub or scratch at the affected eye. 

Filament in the mouth.

A white mouth infection in pigeons, often a sign of canker (trichomoniasis), can manifest as white, cheesy lesions in the mouth, throat, and sometimes crop. These lesions can make it difficult for the pigeon to eat or swallow, leading to weight loss and lethargy. Other symptoms include excessive drooling, foul odor from the beak, and changes in droppings. 

White phlegm in the mouth.

A pigeon with white phlegm in its mouth likely has a respiratory infection, possibly caused by Mycoplasma. This can manifest as thick, white mucus, especially around the mouth and throat. Other signs include coughing, difficulty breathing, and lethargy. 

Weight Loss and Weakness

Pigeon weight loss, often referred to as “going light,” can be a symptom of various underlying health issues. Common signs include a decrease in appetite, lethargy, ruffled feathers, and diarrhea. More severe cases may involve green, slimy droppings, a weakened appearance, and even death. 

Getting drowsy

A drowsy or lethargic pigeon can be a sign of various illnesses. Some common symptoms associated with lethargy in pigeons include reduced activity levels, a tendency to sit more than usual, and appearing unusually sleepy. Other signs of illness in pigeons can include a ruffled appearance, watery or even bloody discharge from the eyes or beak, respiratory issues like sneezing or labored breathing, and changes in behavior such as loss of appetite or unusual aggression.
