Total protein measures albumin and globulin levels in your bird's blood. Birds naturally have lower total protein than mammals. Normal levels indicate good nutritional status, liver function, and immune health.
Low protein can result from malnutrition (especially seed-only diets), liver disease, kidney disease causing protein loss, chronic inflammation, or malabsorption. Birds on all-seed diets are especially prone to low protein levels.
Discuss your bird's diet with your veterinarian. A species-appropriate pelleted diet with fresh vegetables is generally recommended over seed-only diets.

No action needed. Continue providing a balanced diet appropriate for your bird's species.
Avian total protein: 4.2 g/dLHigh protein is less common but can indicate dehydration, chronic inflammation, infectious diseases (chlamydiosis, aspergillosis), or certain cancers like lymphoma.
Your veterinarian may recommend further testing to identify the underlying cause, particularly if your bird has other symptoms.
