Pepsi and sprite, both are American male budgies
I just took a look at Pepsi a few minutes ago. He had a red stain on his wing and was throwing up red motion. He kept moving his head in a circular motion trying to throw up. I think he's throwing up his food, Zupreem Food delights. He had crumbs all over his head , and his face was wet. Pepsi and sprite both like ducking their pellets into their water bowel,I think he was dipping his head in the water while I was at school , trying to bath. I think he might have swallowed some of the nasty water . I change it every night , so they must have dipped some pellets into the water. I am suspicious of the vomit so I will schedule a vet appointment for him. His face looks messy . I don't see a behavior difference , I just came back from school. I will update on his behavior. Am I really just scheduling an appointment for no reason ? He's on his heater right now, which is a good thing.
 
When you say he is moving his head in a circular motion, is it tilted up to the sky? If so, I think they call that 'star gazing' and usually indicates the need to throw up or nausea. I don't know what would cause him to want to throw up though of its not regurg.

If you're very concerned, see a vet. If you want to see how it pans out, offer ginger to help the nausea. Ginger is safe.
 
he may have something stuck or didn't go down just right. lets hope it's that, but it's just a guess...
keep us posted!!
 
I think he's better , thank god ! My other budgie sprite cleaned him up so he's spotless :D . He's much better , more vocal. I just think something was stuck down there, so he started vomiting. Though if he vomits more, I will take him to the vet. Thanks guys !
 
So glad Pepsi is doing better! :D
