Hello,
I have two budgies and one of them has been vomiting on and off for a couple of months now. It comes on very suddenly and lasts anywhere between 40 minutes to 3 hours; The most recent one, which occurred yesterday, lasted about an hour and a half.
I thought, at first when he started, that maybe his drinking water was getting dirty or his food was contaminated(this is why he wasn't brought to the vet right away). I changed his food and water more frequently and thought it was helping, because he didn't vomit for about two weeks, but then he did it again. I wanted to take him to the vet, but my mom told me to just wipe down his cage more often, because he had a 'bug' or something... :\
It's been about three weeks since then and, like I said, it happened again yesterday.
I really don't know what to do with him. He'll be visiting the vet as soon as possible, but I thought I might as well see if you guys could come up with something. I've got some pictures here of him. I thought it might be easier for you to see if anything was wrong:

The feathers around his face are still kinda icky from the other day; I cleaned them off as best as I could by myself- he really hates being held...
This is a picture of his poo:

I took the picture about 15 minutes after he made it.
I'm sure that there is something wrong with him. I know that his poo doesn't look right, but other than that he seems to be doing fine.
He's preening himself, flying around, eating, and chatting with his friend.
Nothing seems to be wrong with my other bird, either.
I don't know what else to say, but I'm sure I've left something out, so just ask if you need more info!
Thank you! :3
*I also really don't want people to be mad at me for not taking him to the vet! I really wanted to take him to the vet earlier, but I depend on my mom for transportation. She's not really very close to my birds and while she does like them, she's not real worried about ChiChi, here. So, please, if something is seriously wrong with my bird, don't be upset with me for not taking him into the vet right away- it's not my fault! D':
