I've been kind of worried today cause Kili (Senegal Parrot) was making strange throaty sounds. It kind of sound like something between gargling, weezing, and snoring. Her tail shakes up and down and her tongue shakes around when this happens. It's not on every breath but maybe about every 5 seconds when she is relaxed. She was really mellow sitting on me and she was doing this. I'm not sure if it could be a sign of illness or respiratory problems or just some "behavior."
I suspected something may have gotten stuck in her mouth or throat because she was chewing a big treat seed but stopped and was flicking her tongue around a lot and eventually dropped the seed and spit out further seeds I gave her after that. I looked inside her beak when she was making these sounds and it looked like there was water at the back of her beak/throat. She did eat a full pellet meal after this, drank water, and went to bed but should I be alarmed?
