@yourxangelx: my bird has jagged tail feathers and it’s constantly bobbing. she’s been preening recently and i just got her, she’s an adult budgie. does anyone know what this mean? #birdsoftiktok #budgies #parakeets #reletable #help
Tail bobbing is typically a normal sign as long as it’s subtle, if it’s different from your other budgies’ breathing (with panting or clear chest movements) then it’s most likely a respiratory issue. Jagged tail feathers can be caused by a small cage (feathers rubbing against cage bars) and/or health issues like hypovitaminosis (specifically lack of vitamin A) or lack of proper amino acids (which contribute to feather quality). Also, preening is a normally good sign but if it’s aggressive and constant that might be a medical emergency. Although i am not a vet i highly suggest you to take your bird to an avian vet because these signs unfortunately suggest respiratory infections. Try to keep her in a comfortably warm room, purify the air with a HEPA air purifier and check if she’s constantly looking tired or fluffed up. Keep teflon, perfumes, candles and house cleaning products away. Hopefully it isn’t something severe.❤️

tail bobbing could be respiratory distress and it would be wise to visit the vet for a check up
