For example, lack of appetite, lethargy, changes in respiratory pattern, limping/wing drop, heat/swelling of joints, ruffled feathers, dirty feathers/lack of preening, being picked on by others. Some of these are also signs of illness/injury, but that&#39;s the same in all species when there is a cross over in the signs. HTH Good luck with your assignment x</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
