Hello there! I bought a budgie from a person on craigslist September 29th and I am concerned that he may be sick. I think he's having labored breathing along with slight tail bobbing. Since I just got him and I have never owned a bird before, I'm not sure if he is breathing heavily because he is stressed or sick. Has anybody had a budgie that breathed heavily after they first got them because they were stressed? I also don't see him eating or drinking much. When I play parakeet sounds he seems to perk up and will chirp at them. I admit that right now his cage isn't in great shape. His last owners had him in a small cage with zero toys. I ordered a new cage and toys for him online but they still haven't arrived yet. Any suggestions on if his heavy breathing is from the stress of being in a new place or if I should take him to a vet? Thanks in advance!!!
