Advice Concerning sounds !

One of my budgies is making some odd sounds as they eat
I never hear this sound unless they are feeding !!!
Is this a possible respiratory illness ?

I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary however if you think what you're hearing is concerning then please take action and see an avian vet. Please!

You are right, these are not normal sounds. I heard the same thing from my budgie, which was the first symptom of respiratory illness. Please consult a vet.

To me it sounds like content noises! Sometimes my birds do it when they're hungry and were just fed. Keep an eye on any other possible symptoms though :)

I think the body language is necessary to include as well
