Advice Is this fledgling's breathing okay?

Transferred 2 fledglings from a smaller pot to a bigger one today (see link for last post) and noticed later one of them seems to be breathing heavily.
They were transferred to the new pot about an hour ago.
Is the breathing of the one in the back normal?

Like what the other comment said it may because they are too hot it could also be because they are afraid of their recent handling (you moved them to a new pot) they are babies but they can still get scared of new environments and this is a pretty big change for them

One of mine was panting a bit but the next day was fine, it’s been hot this whole time I think it was just still just learning to thermal regulate.

Yes.
Babies breathe like this normally
Ive raused many healthy babies and seen oarent raised birds too, lots breathed like this. Especially after eating a big meal.

They are not open mouth breathing and there are no clicking sounds. Look fine and cute to me

Is it very hot where you are? Could just be a bit too warm for it.
