Meyers making strange movements

[Arwyn1313]

Hi everyone,
So my 7 month old Meyers has starting doing a strange thing with her mouth. When I'm holding her she will stretch out her neck and open her mouth like she is yawning but she will do it over and over. She only does it when I'm holding her and it's not all the time. She doesn't seem to be in pain when she's doing it, I'm just worried there might be something wrong. She is very healthy and normal besides this little tick. Any advise would be greatly appreciate. Thank you in advance.

Is she trying to regurgitate???

I don't think so because it's a slow movement like a yawn with her neck extended. Almost like she's trying to clear her throat.

She may have one of the fuzz stuck in her throat. If it gets worse you need to consult a avian vet!

Sounds like regurging to me too.

Thanks for the replies. I will keep my eye on her

From what I've read, this is normal and may mean that she's just "readjusting" her crop (or the contents of it) - our Meyers does it sometimes, too. They also tend to do it if you touch their ears. But if she does it a lot, maybe a vet check is on order? Or a phone call.
