My bird started breathing with an open mouth and tail bobbing. Should I worry?

[]

Answer

Open-mouth breathing and tail bobbing in birds are significant signs of respiratory distress and are always a cause for concern. Birds are very good at hiding illness until it's critical. These symptoms could indicate various issues, including respiratory infections, air sac mites, heart problems, or even a foreign body. Due to the rapid decline birds can experience, this condition warrants immediate veterinary attention. Please consult with an avian veterinarian as soon as possible. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
