I just witnessed my budgie go through a fit of vomiting. She lurched her head back and forth a bit, then shook her head and one to two pieces of undigested seed went flying out of what I'm guessing was her crop. She did this about 7-10 times. I've never noticed this behavior before, but thanks to this sticky I know it was vomiting: http://talkbudgies.com/your-budgies-health/280274-regurgitation-vs-vomiting.html
Afterwards, her head feathers were slightly wet with what I'm guessing is mucus. About 10 minutes after the vomiting fit, she went to eat some more seeds, which I thought was strange. Do birds normally go for food so soon after vomiting? She also seems a bit fatigued, but this is usually the time I put her to bed so I'm not too surprised about that. She's otherwise acting fine right now.
Here's a few things I can also mention. For the past few days, she's been tearing up one of her wood perches with her beak. She's also been eating from a seed stick in this package: http://i.imgur.com/A5tOjcj.jpg Right now it's 72F in my apartment. I have no epsom salts. I can't think of much else to do but cover her cage for bedtime. But I'd love to hear any suggestions people might have, because I don't know how exhaustive the sticky is.
