hello all :)
so, my girl was just chilling on her perch, and i noticed her tail was dancing / moving a little bit weirdly while she was breathing..
she is eating and drinking, her and her siblings seem fine in terms of not being stressed/ anxious. they all have a vet appointment next month…should i be concerned about my girl? is this just me being worried?
thanks for reading, all.

 
The very minor movement does not provide much definition regarding your parrot's health.

What I think you are referring to is call Tail Pumping that is linked to their breathing and is an indication of issues of air sack infected and causing an issue of 'forced breathing. This type of forced breathing is an indication of your need to be 'running to your vet's office'.

If it become more defined, its time to see the vet!
