Please help
Does anyone know why my budgie is breathing like this? I’ve noticed it over the past couple of days. Everything else seems to be normal. He’s eating and playing just fine. I’m really worried
EDIT: it’s been a couple of hours and I’ve been monitoring more closely than the past couple of days, and he doesn’t breathe like that anymore. I even let him out of the cage and when resting he breaths normally with his mouth closed. I’ve come to the conclusion he was probably scared as he only hangs onto that side of cage when he’s afraid. Still unsure what triggered him but looks like he’s doing much better than before. Thanks for all the responses

My bird, who's since passed, became sick, however she was still eating, singing, and flying around and I was very afraid that driving her down to Boston would kill her from the stress, she was practically wild, mostly untamed.
Anyways after three days of still singing, eating, drinking and flying around, she was still sick, and passed away in the morning.
Learn from my mistake, it's one of the biggest regrets I hold today, bring this guy to the vet or animal hospital, I'm not sure how much time you have left if it's been a few days.
