My budgie seems sick. I got him from a pet store a few days ago, he is an adult budgie. The first day I got him, his tail was bobbing. The second day he sneezed. Now when I look at him, his tail is bobbing all the time, but a little bit more than slightly. He seems to eat normally, though. Yet, he can sit hours on a bird feeder, sometimes eating seeds. He sits in one place at hours, chirping only sometimes and mostly at night. When I come closer I can see he is puffed up, tail bobbing at times. I can see him opening his beak a little bit, it's not visible much how he is a little puffed up. I don't know if my bird is just scared in his new environment, or if he has mild respiratory problems. I don't want it to get worse. I've already started taming him, but if I take him to the vet, he will probably get grabbed again and lose his trust. On top of that, I don't want to annoy vets if there actually are no problems.
My parents are saying he looks healthy, my budgie is taking care of his feathers and eats from my hand, sometimes putting legs on my finger. What should I do with him? What could the problem be, and how to fix it?
P.S.: He sometimes does a small noise that isn't chirping or sneezing, I can't describe it. I don't know if there are any changes in his behavior. When I went to the pet store the lady told me the budgies recently came, not being here for over 10 minutes. I'd appreciate any help!
