Hi everyone,
I am a first time lovebird owner, and this is the first time I've seen my lovebird act in this way. While I have not seen actual vomit, I suspect it may be doing just that, or maybe choking? I know that many of you may say take it to a vet, but I want to know if this is really a case of emergency or is this normal isolated occurance that doesnt need panicking.
This morning I refilled his water and food, he was happily eating his food (the small millet seeds in the mix) when he started bobbing his head as if he was trying to get something out of his throat. Then he was shaking his head, where a bunch of seeds seem to be flying out of his mouth. His feathers got puffed up (it wasnt like that before) and he seemed tired after the episode and went to sleep on a perch.
Then I had to go to work so I couldnt observe further. hoping he is ok by the time i get back.
He is about 10 weeks old.
Let me know if anyone has had similar experiences and whether this is really an emergency.
thanks so much,
Sil
