HELP !! SICK 6 WEEK OLD ECLECTUS

[MLJx5]

Hello - I have a 6 week old Eclectus and he was purchased from a breeder in Ohio - He flew in on Saturday afternoon. Once he got here he was not eating well for me. Yesterday he started throwing and then keeping his head back at all times. He's sitting up but with his head all the way back - with beak towards the ceiling. I started antibiotics and an anti-fungal med. this a.m. Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this type of behavior on a sick bird, I've just never heard of the head back like that.

Thanks for any help/advice!

Hi Monica, welcome here
It might be that your bird has a crop burn. for crop burn flushing water into the crop is recommended, but I would rather advise you to see an aviary vet - since it looks rather serious to me.. and a precise diagnosis would seem very important.
