My cockatiel has just started gagging (the best way I can describe it) today and I am not sure if this is normal or a cause for concern. He has cleared his throat by opening his mouth wide and “yawning” in the past, but this gagging is new. He has done it quite a few times today, normally after he goes back to his bowl and eats. Nothing has come out until when he did it about 5 times ago, but it was pellet in solid form but a little wet.His appetite is normal, he doesn’t seem to have any issue breathing, and he has been normally active today. Is this just him regurgitating, or is this a sign of some sort of infection? I am a first-time bird owner so I am kind of freaking out. I have a video but could not figure out how to post it :/. Theo is 4 months old.
I am not sure if this pellet came out if his mouth (not swallowed) or not because it was solid and only barely wet?
