My sister messaged me saying she has booked an appointment to take little Chippy to the vet, but I'm hoping someone might know what's going on with her budgie. She's frequently tail bopping with squeaky breathing, her feathers sticking up and the skin above her cere is showing. Videos and pictures below.
Something is wrong, so getting Chippy to the vet asap is important, there are various things that cause squeaking and tail bobbing so an exam by an avian vet is critical.
Seeing an Avian Vet for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan is critical.
Any thoughts on the cause and/or type illness a forum member might offer would simply be speculation as these are not qualified professionals.
Please let us know how things go for Chippy once she's had her appointment with the vet.
Best wishes!
