However, the presence of LA in the human body is associated with an increased risk of developing inappropriate blood clots. Importantly, lupus anticoagulant itself does not cause bleeding in the body. There is no single test for the detection of lupus anticoagulant and it cannot be measured directly. The presence of LA is usually determined by using a panel of sequential tests for which there is no standardization.
On the one hand, a cockatiel may suddenly die with no symptoms at all. As alarming as that it is, it can and does happen. Anytime a bird is showing signs of illness, however, that should be taken seriously as it is possible the bird could end up critically ill and dying.he signs of severe illness in a bird are weight loss (you'll feel the breastbone sticking out like a knife blade), sitting fluffed on the bottom of the cage, a decrease in activity and vocalizations, refusing to eat, and labored breathing (often shown by tail-bobbing).
Hi! I too have heard various opinions about the lifespan of cockatiels. Most say that their *average* lifespan is about 15-20 years. I have several friends who have tiels that are over 25 and still very healthy. Cockatiels can live to be 35 or even older, and are very hardy, sweet birds. They live long lives for a creature so tiny, as most parrots do. Your sweetie may not be so young anymore, but hopefully, with lots of love and a good diet, hopefully he should still have some years left with you.
