what is my budgie doing?

Postby hopestar » Wed Jul 27, 2011 7:26 pm

sorry about the bad video quality, but my budgie is closing her eyes a lot and she is very faintly shaking/shivering/bobbing back and forth (I'm not to good at describing.) she does this a lot and sometimes she opens/closes her beak while doing this. why does she do this. is it good or bad?

i was just a little nervous about the closed eyes and "shaking", could she be tired or just cold(temperature), what is it? (and sorry about re-posting this, i got no replies last time)

I am not an avian vet but that looks like an upper respiratory infection. Time to go to the vet.

The shaking and shivering is caused by paine.

1. You budgie probably needs a visit to the vet

2. Could you make any more topics in one go??? Perhaps a Mod could roll them all into one and you could ask all your questions there. Wow.

Hopestar was asking in different places to see if he could get other responses.
Be nice.
