Hello Neil - Dave Walters is right about it being E-coli, but I’ve read that it is a mixed infection, involving viruses and bacteria (especially E.coli and cocci, but also protozoa). The pathogens are transmitted by air, dust and contact between birds, as well as via communal drinking water and feed. There is a product called Chevita Adenosan for Young Bird Sickness, but I hope Dave’s suggested treatment works if you use it, because as I think you know, the sooner treatment starts the better the result. Good Luck Mate. Dave Christon.
