Bing has only been with me for 3 and a half days and he/she is grinding his/her beak alot is this because its comfortable and happy or some other health problem and it also makes these poof noises, almost like a fart either after eating millet or being on my finger, is that good?

 

thanks :wub:

That is all normal the poof noise is like sneezes or such that get the dusting of the millet off their beak mine too that too. The grinding is a form of contentment.

Check that Bing hasn't got beak mite that could be irritating him, any gasping or coughing can be a sign of worms Gapeworm (syngamus) to be exact. So worm the birds. Or he may just be content.

:ygbudgie: You have a cuttlebone in the cage I am sure and could probably also add some sort of beak block. My lovebirds love to grind their beaks slightly sometimes when they are on me (like a cat purrs when they are contented). :budgiedance:
