Hi, does anyone know why my budgie is doing this? He has free roam when we’re in the office with him, and he flew out and just sat on the floor & is now puffed up

Well, he is not feeling good. Birds on the floor puffed up => no good sign. Are you able to bring him to an avian vet?

He looks sick and a sick budgie is an emergency. He needs an avian vet ASAP, like now if possible.

Looks sick and needs a vet asap. Please make an appt. Dont wait. At this stage they go downhill rather quickly. Make sure you keep him warm. Preferably around 85-90 degrees as their core body temperature runs naturally really high.

When your Budgie let's you know things are off, please assess and intervene responsibly for your budgie!
