Is a Shivering, Lethargic Parrot Just Cold?
A shivering, listless parrot is not always just cold — it may be frightened, chilled, fighting a cold, or suffering diarrhea. Warm the bird, offer pellets or tylosin for colds, and use gentamicin for diarrhea, but get a vet check first if unsure.
What Causes a Parrot to Shiver and What to Do

Keep water depth just over the shell, no more than twice the shell height, with basking rocks above water. Change water every 1-2 days since they eat a lot of meat and pollute water fast. Keep temperature at 28-30 C for best growth; too cold or hot hurts appetite. Give 1-2 hours of light daily to reduce illness.
What happens if you wash a dog’s bottom?
Washing a dog's bottom helps keep the area around the anus clean, since soft stools or diarrhea can soil it and lead to skin infection if not cleaned. Avoid letting bath water enter the anus, and keep the water from being too hot. After washing, dry the fur promptly but avoid overly hot air.
