Hello All,

Just thought would check with all you experts out there. Sometimes joey sits on his perch and does a funny thing with his headhe put's his head forward and opens his beak as thought he's heaving to be sick is that normal?

 

Thanks

Well yes

it depends.Sometimes males sometimes vomit when they feel *****. It may be that he is poorly. Is he showing any signs of illness? Fluffed up feathers? quieter than usual etc

 

has he got some seed stuck? Has he got fresh water?

My bird will do this sometimes. Seems to be just a mannerism. You could have him checked, though, if you think he's in distress when he does it.

No he's got fresh water and he's not showing any signs of ilness he's been really lively today and no he hasn't got fluffed up feathers. and he only does it for a few seconds and starts singing and sometimes he sings when he's doing it, weird eh

 

thanks

If she hears clicking sounds, she should go to the avian vet. There's nothing you or anyone else here would be able to do for that.

AIR SAC MITES?! Yuck. I hate bugs. While we're talking bugs, do any of you use a cage protector/scalex-type spray on a regular basis? I'm talking preventive care, here. Just curious. See all this stuff sold in the stores, you know...

The mite protectors that hang on the cages are useless. They shouldn't be used. I've never used a spray to prevent mites as they shouldn't be a problem for indoor birds. If they do become a problem, the vet is the best place to acquire a safe, effective spray. Most of the products I've seen in pet stores are not only useless but sometimes even harmful.

Harmful well that doesn't make any sense at all...i still miss my budgie air sac mites are evil! I also think the only reason he died so quickly after he started getting clicking sounds is becasue the female pecked him n the head and it strted bleeding

The mite protectors that are sold in pet stores actually contain toxins that your budgie will breathe in. Absolutely harmful. Please don't use them.
