The last picture is the only one that I can see what you are referring to, the upper part of the chest seems to be puffed out, is that correct? From what you have indicated this seemed to come on suddenly, is that correct? If this happened suddenly and has remained as such, my first thought is a ruptured air sac, the air will accumulate under the skin and appear like a bubble. It may not be the case with him but this came to mind initially. Do you have access to an avian vet?
Budgie swollen chest/crop??
Hello, today I noticed my budgie (Cheeko) crouching forward and looking intently suddenly, it looked weird to me because he was like that for several minutes. But I was leaving the housing so I couldn't keep watching him.
(first two images)
I left on some TV and went out, I came back 4 hours later and noticed that his chest looks weirdly puffed or swollen?? Im really worried, what does this mean. (last image) I've only had him for 6 days and its my first pet bird so I'm not very experienced.
Its already late here though so I put him to bed. Before bed he preened himself normally and then moved inside to his fav sleeping spot and then I covered him.
I would appreciate any advice I'm really worried.
some context: the only thing that happened differently today is that I had some issues with the tray of his cage so I had to struggle with it for several minutes (40 minutes) and it made lots of noise and shook his cage quite a bit and that freaked him out, and he was breathing heavily but he didnt fly or screech or anything, just watched me very intently and fully alert. idk if this is relevant, but here it is.
((I apologize for not placing the images as full images through imgur, I'm short on time at the moment.))
